Yes. I concur. The roots of this, and this is just as if we were looking at what happened in Dublin Airport when people lost their lives in an accident, is that we gave the screening for women's health to four for-profit laboratories in the US. Many of them were simultaneously conducting clinical tests for the US military, which is a massive industry, and nobody looked at what happened. Dr. Scally looked at how the laboratories are performing now, but did he look at worker X who got Ms Walsh's screen wrong, how many tests he or she did that day and in what length of time, what type of pressure he or she was under, what was his or her qualification and what was his or her rate of pay. None of that was done.
