Mr. Damien McCallion:

The only issue of which I am aware that led to issues and confusion in terms of people applying was where different solicitors had different issues over the use of the protocol. We discussed this previously. Those issues were addressed. I asked that solicitors with concerns be contacted directly. Some of them wrote in and some of them were met with. I am just looking at the spreadsheet list of names. To the best of my knowledge the majority, and certainly those who have participated, are now using that protocol. The only purpose of the protocol is to protect the slide as physical evidence for the woman. That is its only purpose. From my side, we absolutely want to move those slides on as quickly as possible.
