Ms Lois West:

I believe I sent some messages during the meeting to express that we were not happy. I believe it was alluded to during the meeting that it had been a full and independent review, which we simply did not agree with. We were also deeply concerned that we were being bound to the idea of a joint enterprise. There were indeed joint meetings involving the review team. We dutifully attended all nine with the members of the policy development, implementation and monitoring section but, as I noted in my statement, we were not involved in or consulted on the drafting of the subsequent report.
