Obviously, much of the focus of Dr. Scally and his team has been on the extra ten labs. My understanding of his conclusion is that although we all accept that, clearly, this should not have happened and represented a risk. Having looked into the risk Dr. Scally did not find evidence of poor practice and poor quality. Women have told me that is great and reassuring, but they have also pointed out that some of the labs have closed and asked about Dr. Scally's level of confidence regarding sufficient access to data relating to the closed labs. His investigation found no evidence of substandard quality. How close is that to being confident that there was no substandard quality? They are different tests.
