Dr. Tony Holohan:

To be helpful, on the point of discretion and what it means in this particular context, I do not recall seeing the circular and we would not be copied on something like that or the individual communications between the screening programme and the clinicians who were to tell the patients and so on. However, discretion in that context means sometimes there is information - that would not necessarily be appropriate - that the screening programme has and passes to the clinician. The clinician is then in a situation where he or she can assess whether it is appropriate to pass on that information-------
