With the greatest of respect, Mr. Breslin is not answering the question. I understand it is inherent in a screening programme. I am going to ask him the question for the fourth time. The Department was told by the HSE that CervicalCheck was about to do something which could lead to a loss of confidence in the programme due to media coverage and the public reaction. That is exactly what has just happened. Is that not the sort of warning that the Department should escalate to a Minister?
