Dr. Sheila Willis:
No, we offer services to the other agencies such as the Military Police, Customs and Excise and to GSOC. We do not get a very high number of cases from any of those agencies, but we are available to work for them. We have also had, in recent times, a slight increase in the number of instances when the State funds the option for the defence to review the work we carry out. It also funds the possibility of additional work which is done primarily outside the State and which is sometimes considered to be not acceptable. In those instances we occasionally do the work on behalf of the defence, if they wanted additional work done.
