Does the HSE now have an expected date for the availability of the HPV test? It did not have one the last time it was before the committee. What is the HSE's view on temporarily suspending tests to clear the backlog? As Deputy Lisa Chambers stated, the media has reported that one of the labs has proposed that as well. What is the HSE's view? My final question concerns the women recalled because their test date had expired. Have all of those women now been retested and have they received their results?
