More now on the board meeting Crichton was not invited to. Blake asks if there's a suggestion that, although the Second Sight report was an independent review, those being investigated might still have had some influence over it.
Alice Perkins said she explained to Crichton afterwards that the meeting had developed quickly and it had not been "appropriate" to bring her in. She also said the agenda was packed. Crichton says that's "probably right".
When asked about this, Crichton tells the inquiry her reaction - she says it was "not appropriate" that she had not been included. She says she was trying to play the role of independent intermediary. She wanted to make sure Second Sight investigators got the information they needed in the way they wanted it.
She says she "didn't necessarily believe" that the agenda was too packed, and that there was no time to discuss the issue fully. "I wasn't always successful," she admits. "Certainly, timing-wise, things took too long to do."
At no point did she enter the room, she tells the inquiry.
