Time flies when one is having fun. It feels like we have been here for 20 hours. I thank all the witnesses for remaining with us this evening. The committee members are aware that the meeting has been prolonged but we have questions which must be answered.

Two people in this room - Dr. McKenna and Dr. Henry - received the letter from Vicky Phelan's consultant. I do not understand what happened after they received the letter, nor why it was not brought to the attention of senior management. What did they do when they read it? Its content, with which I am sure they are familiar, is astonishing.
