Mr. John Hennessy:

I will reply briefly on that and I might ask Mr. Burke to take us through the detail on the process as well. I do not think it would be fair to talk to the particular examples but I can tell the Chairman with certainty that nobody is cut off without repeated notice and without getting the reasons that decision has been taken, and they are outlined in a schedule that accompanies the letter notifying the person; I think the general practitioner is notified as well.

Regarding rights of review and appeal, I am somewhat baffled by the letters the Chairman is citing but I would be happy to view them off-line with him because there is a standard right of review and a standard right of appeal, in a consistent manner, that accompanies all the correspondence. If there is some aberrant letter out there denying applicants or the public the right of review and appeal, I would be very interested in seeing it.
