There are people expecting telephone calls who may not receive one and who may have nothing to worry about. Part of what is causing the confusion is a misunderstanding about some of the numbers and some of the groups of people involved. It would be very helpful if we could drill down to identify the number of look-backs and what the categories were. When one is told it is not possible to look back because somebody did not have a screening, it makes perfect sense. It makes perfect sense with those who may be older. Given the numbers, however, the perception is that everybody was in the same category. That is certainly what I am picking up. I believe there is a public information awareness exercise to be conducted in that regard. I accept the point made and what one has to go through, but there is also a public information piece.
