    In March, I asked question 2023/1319: “Further to your failure to respond to question 2022/3468, how can you reconcile your admission in question 2022/2973 that ‘a short-term review of shift lengths, patterns and rotas, in response to recommendation 3 in the UCL report, has not yet been undertaken’ with TfL’s statement on 21 March 2021 which implied it would be conducted by summer 2021?” Has the short-term review been completed yet? If so, when? Will you please provide me with a copy? If you will not, then will you please explain why?
