I wish to follow up with a crucial point. Everyone in the committee has concerns about this for multiple reasons. First, we need to get to the facts. I have outlined some of the cases to the witnesses. We know of four. I know of another one and there were two previous cases. There is a timeline for these cases as well. These are the facts. We cannot judge the four cases with the State Claims Agency but those are the facts. We then have the issue of the dial-up from a litigation point of view and so on.

Let us consider this committee as a forum to help the screening service. What can we do? We know there is a process. CervicalCheck is on a completely different spectrum and it is a completely different issue. It is on a completely different scale and it is a different scandal and so on. Anyway, what can be done to ensure, for want of a better phrase, an audit or process is put in place to deal with this and to help renew confidence?
