Public Accounts Committee

2013 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Energy and Natural Resources
Chapter 8 - Operation of the Emergency Call Answering Service

10:00 am

Mr. Mark Griffin:

I am not concerned about the fact that CDM is co-ordinating the group. I should know the members of the group but I do not. I will, however, get the list for Members. There are four or five other organisations, including the British Geological Society, that will bring a wealth of independent expertise to the study. The decision and the recommendations that come forward in the report will not be a matter for CDM alone. The Deputy should bear in mind that the team undertaking the work is overseen by a steering group of very competent people. As far as I am aware, the EPA research programme includes impacts on human health. It also includes assessments of environmental impact.
