We do not need the Chief Justice sending us correspondence two years from now informing us about a patient safety incident because of a prescription sent by fax or email. We need to be cognisant and deal with it in a proactive way now.

My next question is on CervicalCheck. Dr. Gabriel Scally appeared before the committee. Both he and Dr. Denton stated that the criteria for selection in arriving at the figure of 221 were unclear. Did the 221 selected all have cervical cancer?
