This is important. I know I am cutting across Dr. Holohan but the question I am asking does not require the Scally investigation. The question was whether Dr. Holohan was essentially comfortable or okay with the fact that the HSE was letting the Department know it was putting conditions around disclosure. The response explained when conditionality might be okay. The question is now whether Dr. Holohan believes CervicalCheck was correct in its opt-out approach. I am not asking him to comment on a case-by-case basis as I know he cannot do so. In the approach, was CervicalCheck correct in putting some conditionality around the disclosure?
