This whole debacle started off about mandatory disclosure and women not being told their results. We are still at this point months later and people are not able to get their files. Why are they not able to get them? We have been constantly told that the HSE will give them their files. Why are we still hearing they are not able to get their files?

We now know the number of cases is 28. Is that from a cohort of 209 or 221, or are they made up from a different component?

The clinical review will require information to be transferred to be evaluated. Will that prove to be an impediment to others getting their files or are duplicates available? What issues will arise from the point of view of people getting the information that they own?
