Dr. Jerome Coffey:
I do not have any further details on State Claims Agency cases. I am not sure what the correspondence referred to by the Deputy specifies. I am aware, however, that as the age extension from 65 to 69 is implemented, there is pressure in the BreastCheck workforce to find enough mammographers. There is an international shortage and there are very aggressive recruitment campaigns being run by BreastCheck to try to meet those needs.
