Mr. Damien McCallion:

The public-private dynamic is a reality of our healthcare system as a whole. However, the number of private tests carried out in the two laboratories that undertake a small amount of private work is very small. It is not significant in terms of the overall numbers. Having said that, every test is critical for us given the search that we have been doing around the world. We are continuing to make sure that none of the providers undertakes an extra element of that. That is outside our contract with those providers but the number is very small in the context of what we want. Our focus with the current providers is on ensuring that they give us the extra capacity we need to deal with the backlog and ensure we get the programme on to a stable footing.
