I thank Mr. Breslin for that.

The next thing I want to ask relates to more damaging non-disclosure. There is widespread belief in a clinical link between non-disclosure and outcomes for the women involved. My understanding is that there is no clinical link. In other words, had the women been told about the identification of the false negatives the day they were identified it would have made no difference to their clinical treatment and outcomes. Maybe this is a question for the doctors on the panel. Am I correct in that belief?
