I am sorry for jumping in ahead of Dr. Scally. The first question was about screening programmes in general which inherently have the reporting of false negatives built into them. How can they be managed fairly and effectively without recourse to an adversarial legal process? Will Dr. Scally address the issue of the failure to openly disclose the audit findings as soon as they became available. He also suggested a commission of inquiry was not the best way forward. He might comment on that suggestion.
