Ms Lois West:

When the 59-page report was handed to me, which was at 12.20 p.m. on the afternoon of 8 May, it was conveyed to me that views were required on it by the end of the day. I said I would try to provide views but, on looking at it, it was simply not possible and we really needed time to compare and contrast it with the original 2016 report. I felt very aggrieved about the wording of the report and the insinuations in it that Ms Galligan's methodology was inherently weak, confined or inappropriate. I really felt it was only fair that we should be given the opportunity to respond appropriately to that criticism.
