Mr. Damien McCallion:

Maybe I can help a little in terms of the volumes. The total take-up of consultations is of the order of 92,000. There were two elements to this, the first of which is the consultation, for which there is a payment of €50. The second element is the smear test itself and the cost of that, as per the current contract, is €49. The most recent figures indicate that there are 92,290 claims for consultations. I do not have the exact figure for the number of smears as part of that. That may be helpful to the committee in terms of understanding the costs.
