>> 5.3 John Hanson raised the matter of CDAs, stating that he had understood that any CDA that had been investigated and then verified would result in a spot-check on remaining members of the family within that particular household. He added that he felt that this wasn’t always happening. Alison Webster said that she was surprised to hear this as QinetiQ have a highly rigorous procedure in place and that she understood that a family would automatically be investigated for the same mis-transcription when an individual is highlighted. She asked John Hanson to supply any evidence on this issue to QinetiQ direct.<<
