Ms Imelda Hurley:

A regulatory review has been undertaken by Philip Lee, an independent third party. That review has been submitted to Project Woodland and the Department. As the review is considered in terms of the specific opportunities for change, it is important that the overall licensing processes and systems are streamlined to the fullest extent possible while always fully adhering to the EU legislation and all the regulations that must be followed. That work is ongoing. We welcome all the work that has been done to date and look forward to the outcome of that regulatory review which will bring certainty to the licensing system going forward.
