Professor Kerri Clough-Gorr:

The Deputy asked about the two populations. What happened was that we took its population and matched it with the full population because it wanted to know who else had received a diagnosis of cancer and had not been passively notified. It had the people who had been notified directly to CervicalCheck. We gave it diagnoses that it had not received through its notification process. They are the two numbers. We gave it approximately 1,600 other diagnoses, but they included many people who were older and not in the screening programme. Therefore, the number would come down when CervicalCheck matched our extra cases with its cases. I do not know the actual numbers. CervicalCheck is carrying out that analysis.
