It is important. I am not against the practice, but we want to make sure we are getting value for taxpayers' money.

With regard to cervical cancer screening, Mr. Breslin explained very well about the trigger and so on, which I totally understand, but we are still not randomly auditing. Obviously, there are the women who have the diagnosis of cervical cancer, but are there proposals to do random checks? I have asked this before at other committees. Are there plans to check random slides of those who do not have a cervical cancer diagnosis? Have we to wait until there is a diagnosis? Will we do a random audit of the slides that have been taken over the last few years?
