Yes, but even in this letter Mr. Connaghan says Mr. Gleeson "cannot recollect the specifics of the conference call". He told this committee that there was no conference call. Those concerned are being very cute with how they are playing with words here. There was an apparent difference regarding a misunderstanding over whether women had been informed. Mr. Gleeson told the committee it was his understanding that all the women had been informed. If the HSE is saying that is the misunderstanding and that the State Claims Agency and HSE are now happy it has been clarified, that is the end of the matter. The issue for me, however, is that the programme manager of CervicalCheck is not even recollecting that there was a telephone call in the first place. He appeared before the committee and said he had no communication whatsoever with the State Claims Agency, and that no one in his organisation had any either. He appeared before the committee towards the start of May, two or three weeks ago, and he could not even remember a telephone conversation he had two weeks previously.
