Dr. Stephanie O'Keeffe:

Clearly, we know from the process that some of the consultants did communicate with the women but, unfortunately, what we have found out through the exercise that was undertaken underneath the symptoms is that it was a minority of women who had received communication and were informed. The Senator would have to speak to CervicalCheck directly but, from the programme's perspective, those involved seemed to think the correspondence from Dr. Hickey was specific to him. That is my sense.
