I have no doubt that everybody decided that open disclosure was a good thing. We all agreed with that. But if someone does not practice that, in essence it means that it is not going to work. If there are people who are opposed to the concept of open disclosure, it will cause a glitch in the system, which it did, and it was a serious one. We would be entitled to know what happened at that level. I will come back to the laboratories in a moment.

Incidentally, is it correct that 50,000 high-grade pre-cancerous changes in women were detected, reducing their risk of cervical cancer by 90%? Then, I note there was a 7% reduction in cancer generally from 2010 to 2015. Is that in cervical cancer or all cancers?
