Dr. Ambrose McLoughlin:
I need to be clear here. We did a trawl of all the files and documents for Dr. Smith and we supplied them to her. The agencies in question have alleged to Dr. Smith that there was some informality in arrangements with the Department of Health. I cannot deal with informality; I can only deal with fact. I have checked the records of the Department of Health and I can find no evidence.
