I thank the witnesses for appearing. Obviously it has been a very difficult two weeks for the health service. On the national screening programme, from the HSE accounts, if we look at CervicalCheck, it seems to be operating in isolation. It has its own website and its own register for all the details, the patients, etc. When I look at the accounts for the HSE, I cannot see what the costs of outsourcing to laboratories are or what the cost of running the programme is. That goes for the other screening programmes. Are they all bulked into one area or what way is that derived from the accounts?
