Martin/Mike

Grateful for background/advice on this case. In particular we need to consider whether we advise
them to contact James Arbuthnot/Second Sight or whether their clients should refer the issue to their
constituency MP who in turn would need to liaise with James Arbuthnot. The other approach to
consider is whether we note that a sample of cases are being reviewed by forensic accountants and
decisions on further cases being referred will be made in the light of the outcome of the reviews
which are in progress?

I think we need to think carefully now about first phase process as regards case numbers for review ,
post review outcome scenarios and next steps in handling as I suspect that the numbers of
approaches such as this or from MPs will continue to drift in over coming weeks.

Regards

Mike
