The Chairman is right, we must be very careful. Is the danger of trespassing onto a High Court case not irrelevant, however? As is the case, separately, with the inquiry. We need to be very careful but they have written to us to state that it would be fine for us to deal with this report. To be fair, I also understand that the whistleblower had confidence in Deloitte and found that it dealt with them on a professional basis. It was as the process went on that that issues arose over what was and was not included. I say this to be fair to the writers of the report. The issue was with the process dictated by the HSE as time went on.
