It is not an allegation. If it was being alleged that the clinical directors were acting in bad faith, that would be an allegation. If the opinion is that the clinical directors are equally mistaken in their view as the Government representatives have been, it is a legitimate expression of concern which might point us to the need to invite the clinical directors to ask them whether they agree or disagree. It is legitimate if they have a fear about the consequences for people to say certain parties will bear responsibility. It is not an allegation of acting in bad faith.
