Supplementary evidence from Eileen Clark,
Amicus representative and Chair of local TUS, following the evidence
session on 13 December 2006
I would also like to make the following additional
comments:
— In response to Prof Blakemore's reply
to question 110—NIMR is in fact not the last of the MRC
institutes or units to be co-located with a university. The units
at Harvvell are not.
— In response to question 148 Prof
Blakemore refers to our understanding of financial support for
NIMR being only for two years as a misconception generated within
the Institute. The following quote from the Report of the Visiting
Sub Committee at the time of NIMRs Quinquennial review in October
2005 is the basis for the comments made in our submission:
3.4.1 ... SC recommendations relate to NIMR's
forward planning until Councils approval of the next Director's
research plans. On this basis, all funding recommendations are
for the next two years ie 2006-07 and 2007-08. (bold face is as
the report)
