Dr. Tony Holohan:

To take that question first, I was not signing off on these letters. They were offered as evidence of validation of the process. The documentation shows that the majority of these letters in relation to the backlog had already issued. I would know and understand that no one of these templates would actually look like the individual letter that would be sent to an individual patient. It reflects some of the considerations. It is important that the HSE would speak to this. That is how I would have perceived these letters with my understanding of screening and audit. I would not have taken some of those interpretations from them. Perhaps the HSE might wish to comment on that.
