NOTE: During 2012 the IMB Board at Leicester disintegrated rapidly. In September 2012 eight experienced members from other boards were appointed (as dual board members) to form a functioning board and oversee recruitment. In January 2013 it was considered that the new board had insufficient information on which to base a report. A report for 2012‐13 was therefore not produced.
