just for clarity, I'm aware research fish is a future project
rather than for this time around.

I'm just distressed that we have duplicate collection of stats -- locally 
"PURE", STFC  Research Fish, now also DiRAC's collection and think we 
should investigate if we can be more joined up and leverage existing 
infrastructure with small tweaking.

Best wishes,

Peter
