On foot of comments made by Deputy Donnelly yesterday, I want to clarify a point about the 1,482 women. As well as the additional 1,500 women who had cancer diagnoses - and the pretty frightening implications given that 208 women's false negative results missed their cancer - of the original 1,482 only some 400 of those women were included in the audit. Is this correct?
