Mr. Jim Breslin:

We are now at a point where there is a very intense demonstration of that. The assessment done at the time was much closer to the ongoing operation of a screening programme. People who, as part of the delivery of screening, subsequently get cervical cancer will say they were screened and this is a real issue. From the very first day the screening programme was put in place, that was an issue present within it and something which was being managed with women when they came forward.
