Ms Eil?sh Hardiman:

Yes, I did attend a meeting. I know the committee has shared with me the emails about that. It related to a different system. I am prepared to talk about this because it is not related to the investigation under way and I cannot and do not want to preclude any outcome of any investigation.

Everybody is entitled to fair process here.

We had a field notice at the time about MAGEC rods. They are a separate growing system. The field notice came to the orthopaedic consultants first and then to the hospitals. I had a discussion about MAGEC rods, which are separate instruments. People will see with the further communication that I am talking about MAGEC rods. They are a separate system.
