I sent the report of the independent third party appointed to review protected disclosures alleging exposure to chemical and toxic substances to the three individuals who made the disclosures and I have received their views. I am currently considering the next steps in light of those views and in the context of ongoing litigation.

The recent correspondence refers to issues which were the subject of a report by an independent third party appointed to review protected disclosures alleging exposure to chemical and toxic substances. I am currently considering the next steps in light of the views received from the individuals concerned and in the context of ongoing litigation.  My consideration will also be informed by this recent correspondence.
