The reason I am setting out our intentions for next week is to make all that clear. It is because we have not received any correspondence from Rehab on next Thursday’s meeting. In the absence of any correspondence, it would be unfair of us to speculate as to whether a certain individual or individuals will attend, but it is no harm to make it clear that we intend to pursue our work next Thursday as agreed and that, as Deputy McDonald suggested, with the approval of the committee, we will confirm that to Rehab and request that it confirms its list of witnesses for next Thursday.
