We have documentary evidence showing that the active advice from CervicalCheck was to tell just three in ten patients, and I do not need a response, but my view is that that represents a decision not to disclose.

Turning to Mr. O'Brien, in 2013 the open disclosure policy came into effect. In 2014 there was an audit. In 2015 a decision was taken to share the results with the women; two years after open disclosure came in. In 2016 the information was shared with the doctors. In 2017 Vicky Phelan got the information on her smears. Given that timeline, does Mr. O'Brien believe the HSE has failed in its duty of open disclosure and in its duty to these 208 women?
