Mr. Damien McCallion:

We worked with the group of 221 patients to develop a report outlining the current factual position. We will circulate the report, which is publicly available, to the committee because it may answer some members' questions. The primary purpose of the report was to inform us on the supports that exist. It set out the various procedures the women have had, the difficulties encountered and their current health status. However, it does not represent their individual journeys. We met the group. The women and their next of kin have gone through a very difficult experience. The report provides a factual position but cannot reflect the traumatic experiences many people have had as a result of the disease. We will circulate the report to the committee as it may answer some questions.
