Mr. Hugh Hume:

The effect for GSOC is that we had to contact all of our complainants involved in our unsupervised cases and tell them this was happening. We had to place a notice on our webpage. It will have an effect on the reputation of GSOC. It will undermine the confidence of the complainants who are potentially being told their investigations have been delayed. We cannot tell at this stage what the actual outworking is of the delay in investigations. I will not know until later in the year whether there has been a significant delay in the totality.
