That is the audit that was carried out. My understanding is that 275,000 smears are taken per annum. With regard to people who have not been identified with cancer, is there any view now that a sample audit should be done of people who have been advised they are all clear, just because of what has occurred? Does Dr. McKenna believe an audit should be done in respect of this at present? Is he satisfied the programme as it currently functions is doing so in a proper manner?
