I have a brief follow-on from that. If a woman in her mid-20s turns up with symptoms, for example bleeding, and a family history, is she prioritised? Those having a colposcopy are prioritised, as Dr. Doherty has outlined to Deputy Durkan, as are those who are HPV positive. Are women who turn up with symptoms also prioritised? For example, if two 30 year old women turn up, one with no symptoms and one with symptoms, does the woman with the symptoms jump the list? Is she prioritised?
