I ask Mr. McCallion to check whether that would have been the level of laboratory availability in 2008.

I refer now to the minutes of the meeting between the Department, the National Cancer Control Programme, NCCP and the National Screening Service, NSS, of 3 August. On page four it says that the clinical audit is "ongoing" and that a total of 120 letters had been issued so far, with "no adverse reaction". I ask Dr. Holohan to indicate if that is correct. If 120 letters had been issued at that stage, does that mean that 120 women were told or that 120 clinicians had been advised?
