A point was raised at the committee meeting yesterday which was attended by Vicky Phelan and Stephen Teap. I do not know if it was covered earlier as I have been in and out of this meeting. If the issue was covered then please stop me and I will move on to my other questions. The point was about looking at the efficacy rate in various laboratories, the percentage of tolerable error and if the statistics fall within a certain percentage, the box is ticked and we move on. Do we need to look at the magnitude of the error and the consequence of the error? Is there any assessment of how we need to act in this context?
