Mr. John Gleeson:

First, I will corroborate what Dr. Coffey said that there was never a decision or a consideration not to disclose, it was a question of how to disclose. We will disclose, but it is a question of how best to do it.

We communicated with the 15 colposcopy clinics which tend to be the centre for most of the diagnoses and invited their views. We have an annual colposcopy forum where we gather and to which we invite all of the doctors and nurses who work in colposcopy clinics to discuss issues. We brought in a consultant doctor from England who was involved in having to engage in open disclosure on cases to provide for some learning and a stimulated discussion on how best to do it. Individual consultant doctors did engage, more or less, with us in saying no, this way or that way. It is an evolving process and getting better. We met them a couple of times last year. We have communicated suggested changes to them, some by email and some by face-to-face meetings. It has been a process for over two and a half years and it is still evolving.
