2.1.5 Upon considering the JICS' 1 September to 31 December 2011, and the 1 January to 31 March 2012 quarterly reports, the Committee noted with extreme concern that the DCS virtually ignored the JICS' recommendations and findings, and recommended that the relationship be drastically improved to ensure that the JICS' activities bore fruit. The JICS conducted 23 inspections in the first quarter of the 2012/13 financial year, and in August reported that the DCS' response to their findings had improved. The Committee would continue to monitor the situation.
