Yes, that would be helpful. There are two communications issues here. The first is most definitely that protocol and the second is that there is a communications strategy in respect of the media. It is important for us to see what that strategy was. There may have been other strategies in respect of follow-on care and the reassurance that people might receive - reassurance which, I believe, is still absent - in respect of the CervicalCheck programme. I am certainly being asked to ask certain questions in emails and in telephone calls to my office. That is the kind of thing I am getting. I am sure it is the same for other Members. If a strategy had been worked out in respect of the questions that people who are fearful would be prompted to ask, surely we would also see that. There will probably be three different types of strategy involved. We might see what the HSE has with regard to all three. I would like the witnesses to tell us if they do not exist. On the issue of patient safety, how is it defined?
