The gallery's project management failings have resulted in an X-ray machine, acquired in 2017 for analyzing artwork, remaining unused due to the absence of a suitable lead-lined room. Dr. Caroline Campbell, the gallery director, expressed regret over the situation and noted various contributing factors, including the pandemic and staff changes. The gallery is addressing these issues by constructing a lead-lined cabinet, ensuring costs will be covered by its resources, with hopes of the X-ray system functioning by the year's end, improving future operations.
The gallery director, Dr. Caroline Campbell, stated that weaknesses in project management were significantly to blame for the X-ray machine not being operational since its purchase.
'The X-ray system is an important piece of equipment which will be used and provide value for many years to come,' Dr. Campbell highlighted during the testimony.
The pandemic and changes in staff were also contributing factors to the delay in getting the device operational, the gallery will tell the committee.
Changes have been made to prevent future Project Management weaknesses, including the establishment of a lead-lined cabinet for the X-ray machine.
