Briefly, I thank everyone for their contribution here this morning. It is very much appreciated. I note that there is a lot of misinformation out there. For instance, on Sunday evening I had a discussion with nurses who believed that the audit was carried out in respect of people who had not been diagnosed with cancer, and that information was kept from them. Given this type of misinformation, is a plan being put in place to get up-to-date information out and give some clarity to the general public? I wonder if the Department or the HSE has any plans to address this issue at the present time, because it is extremely important to rebuild confidence in the whole system.
