I think it was Irene Teap who had the two scans. I have been asked by somebody to ask the witnesses some questions about the detection rate between the labs. There is very significant public concern about people who have engaged with the screening programme, which I still encourage women to do. The high grade detection rate of lab A was half that of two other laboratories. What lab is selected by a GP, for example, to send the smear test to? Is it on a geographic basis or a medical supervision one? What is the means of deciding on the lab?
