On completion of the review a handover report was written and presented to the business outlining recommendations and further actions that needed to be undertaken to resolve outstanding activities to complete a transformation of the old CHE memos way of working. In phase 1 292 published CHEs were reviewed of which 114 were withdrawn and a further 178 historic memos remained in the system that need to be validated and either withdrawn or retained.
