I have two final questions. Is Dr. Okafor aware of any documentation existing of any consent process surrounding the use of these springs? I understand no consent process could possibly agree to the use of these springs, which are not authorised and so on, but was there any consent process, even though it would not have been adequate?

Second, the letter of 21 February that purports to inform CHI about the use of experimental measures and so on has been mentioned. The witnesses mentioned it and stated they had checked their email and had not got it, which means it was sent by email. Is it possible to check whether it was sent from a Temple Street email or are the witnesses aware of that?
