Dr. Gabriel Scally:

As I said earlier, the quality assurance committee had an external chairman and met regularly for the duration. The quality assurance visits were carried out by a mixture of CervicalCheck staff, with an external cytopathologist on those visits.

They came back and there was a discussion noted in the minutes of the quality assurance committee. What is really missing is a process for following up on quality assurance assessment visits and following through on recommendations.
