Clarification requested

Please could the applicant confirm which Panel this query relates to, either the particular name of the Panel, or the subject they have been assigned to review / advise upon?

Clarification received

To confirm: my request refers specifically to the Independent PFAS Scientific Advisory Panel established by the Government of Jersey to advise on environmental and public health matters relating to PFAS contamination. This panel has been repeatedly referenced in official communications, public briefings, States Assembly statements, and media coverage — including by the Minister for Health and the Chief Scientific Adviser.
