Dear Dilani Ponniah,
Thanks for supplying these evaluations of NCPIC. The Centre has subsequently advised me that, in addition to these that you have provided, there is a more recent evaluation of NCPIC. They have advised that it was published in 2014 and described it as an 'industry wide' evaluation. The Centre has also advised to the effect that the evaluations you have provided are superseded by the more recent one, and do not reflect more recent changes at NCPIC. Could you please provide the 2014 evaluation.
Yours sincerely,
Will Tregoning
