If I could move on, I will talk about the modules that are being gone through. I am sure CervicalCheck will want to reassure people and it will want women to continue to engage with the screening process, as I would myself, and it will want to give every assurance to people that they can have confidence in the screening programme. It seems to me that in order to give that confidence the very first thing that should have been provided and worked on was the labs and their reliability and if one lab was better than the other so that Dr. Scally could come to a judgment on that. There was a breakthrough yesterday on the contractual obligations relating to that.
