Mr. John Connaghan:

Clearly, there was a failure of escalation within the CervicalCheck programme. Looking at some of the briefing notes later produced in the system - I am talking, in particular, about those produced in October - there was some degree of assurance that the process was under way. The failure was not to complete the feedback loop. Communication was intended, but it should have been asked if it had actually been done. Mr. Breslin might want to say a few words.
