I understand the steps Mr. Raleigh is trying to outline but that does not answer the question. I wonder whether legal advice was taken at that time by the HSE with regard to stopping all funding to Console on the basis that there were grave concerns. I have not got an answer as to whether an inspection was directed immediately into Console to determine what was happening. Under the governance requirements the executive reserves the right to withdraw or reduce the grant in the event of any material changes to the nature, activities or management of the organisation. It is not acceptable to say that nothing was done.
