Mr. Damien McCallion:

No. There are 201 women who have been contacted and there are four people whose appointments have been scheduled in the next ten days. One lady is in Russia and we are trying to work through the Russian Embassy to make contact with her. There are three people in respect of whom multiple hospitals were involved and we are trying to close those out. We would need to go back to the consultants for the numbers with terminal cancer as it is a clinical judgment and all these situations are very difficult. We would have to assess whether it would be an appropriate course of action to go back but perhaps we can reflect on it. Each of the consultants has met the women and their families, some on a number of occasions. It is a medical judgment but we can certainly look at that, if that is what is required.
