It is important that we read the minutes of the steering group meeting on 28 October:

PD [Phelim Devine] reported that the GMP process has not yet concluded. A report in relation to the GMP process will be submitted to DS [Mr. Sullivan] as chair of the CHP and P steering group in advance of the next board meeting which was to be 16 November 2018 but did not take place until 10 December according to the minutes. It was agreed that an additional meeting of the board steering group will be required to review the report and inform the board. It was noted there was likely to be a delay in submitting the report from the development board to the chair. The actions agreed were: the board to advise Mr. Sullivan of any delay in submitting the GMP report and an additional meeting to be arranged of the steering group in advance of the board meeting.

You said earlier that that did not happen because time did not allow. Do you have plenipotentiary status? You said you had seen the report and decided to overrule the board and say there was no need to have that meeting.
