Ms Josephine Feehily:

It was very clear to us that the entire analysis service had not been consulted and we dealt with it at that level. When a range of units in any large organisation is involved in a piece of work, the authority is entitled to expect that the product that emerges from the work will have involved the voices and expertise of all of the functions. The answer is "Yes" but I also have to say that I would have expected that it was the Commissioner's responsibility to resolve matters and present us with a unified document, and we got neither.
