Mr. Tony O'Brien:

As I said to Deputy Burke, there is a two-way exchange of data with the cancer registry in relation to the BreastCheck programme. In the case of the diabetic retinopathy screening programme, there is no relationship with the cancer registry so there is no requirement for exchange. BowelScreen will operate in a similar way to BreastCheck. There is no immediate issue there because it is at an early stage and because of the way cancer data is collected. I do not want to comment on the efforts that were or were not made to resolve the issue of two-way data exchange over various periods of time because I am not sure of the details at this stage.
