Dr. Stephanie O'Keeffe:

I did and I will explain why. First, I want to clarify that judgment was not just based on a feeling but on the actual formal findings of this audit process. The reason I said "feelings", is because the meeting and the presentation happened quite some time ago. Very often one does not remember precisely what was said but one recalls how one felt. I remember feeling a sense of concern as to whether they were telling me that there could be some issue that they found as a result of the audits they had done and that there were quite so many. Within that, I was assured that the results were sound, as Mr. Connaghan and some of my colleagues have answered, and there was nothing within the data within the audit that suggested there was any systemic issue of concern within those findings. I also had a feeling, as I mentioned earlier, about listening about the lady who had cancer and who Professor Flannelly was going to meet. I remember the feeling of that conversation about what that must be like.
