Dr. Tony Holohan:

I can point out, if it is helpful, that the people who were charged, in both policy and operational delivery terms, with the operation of screening programmes are genuinely concerned about the way, manner and means of communications of false negatives, when they do occur, and their impact on the reputations of programmes. It is an international phenomenon, and these people have genuine concerns about it. The literature is full of that type of concern. I am not suggesting it. There is nothing different in that.
