Dear Clark, Graham,
I have received your reply safely, thank you. It's obviously
complicated, and a little confusing for me. Can I please just
confirm with you my understaning of your figures?
Would it be correct to say you have up-to-date waiting list figures
for 12 sites, and 80 names currently waiting on these sites. I am
not clear how many plots there are on these 12 sites, and would be
grateful if you could clarify that for me.
Many thanks,
Yours sincerely,
Margaret
