Obviously, they felt the need to provide this documentation, given the information we had earlier on relating to what happened. Mr. Woods has gone and Mr. Lynch is not here, even though he was party to it. The documentation does what it says on the tin. If one correlates the documentation with the report of the colposcopists' meeting, one sees that all they achieved in six months was to set up a briefing leaflet for patients. We should remember that Vicky Phelan is one of these patients. It states: "It is envisaged that the woman will be able to tear off the notification slip and send it directly to the CervicalCheck programme to opt in to receiving this information." We are talking about open disclosure but, after six months, all we have are opting in and tearing off a slip. We now know that 80% of women were not told. How does that make Mr. Connaghan feel?
