Dr. Caroline Campbell:

A room had been identified before the business case was prepared. The room had been identified before the purchase of the machine in 2017. It was then found that the room needed to be used for a different purpose because, in 2017, the gallery reopened its historic wings after a lengthy period of refurbishment. Through that process it was found that the space that had been identified previously for the X-ray system was going to have to be used for a different purpose. Since that time the gallery has tried to find a space in which the equipment could be used. We are focused on getting this equipment into operation. We now have the X-ray cabinet which will be delivered by the end of the year so that we can make the system operational.
