I propose to take Questions Nos. 328 and 330 together.

The Management Board of the Department holds weekly meetings with a break for August/Easter and Christmas. Since September 2015 Agendas for these meetings have a four weekly rotation of topics covering organisational development, performance review, policy forum and "other" which relates to internal reports on legal issues, FOI, Government Memoranda and business planning.

Each meeting has standing agenda items of updates, early warnings or events. Any matter may be raised under AOB. The upgrade to the State Claims Agency national adverse events management system was discussed at the meeting of 10 February 2014. The matter of CervicalCheck does not appear in the minutes of management board meetings January 2013 - April 2018.

Dates of the meetings are as per the table.
