That is good. It is fine but it is not accurate. If a woman happens to be one of the 10%, she will obviously feel aggrieved. Is there anything we can learn or do to try to narrow that any further? We have listened to the witnesses' submissions. Repeated mammogram tests might not be the answer either. It might cause greater stress and so on. Is there any way we can deal with that particular aspect of the system? To move away from open disclosure and to become secret and defensive about it will not work in today's climate, unfortunately.
