I see Mr. McCallion had to go back to CervicalCheck. What we can categorically say this morning is that all of the 209 or 208 women have been contacted. The director general said earlier that with eight women, there seems to be great difficulty in making contact. If someone has not been contacted now, and they are contactable, they are not one of the 201. However for all 3,000 women, that work will get under way when the Royal College starts its work in the next couple of weeks. That work has not yet begun.
