Mr. Damien McCallion:

In response to it, I have spoken to her myself. I do not want to personalise it, in fairness to her. She is just representing a general view. The hospital groups are being contacted to make sure that if what should be in place for them is not in place, it will be put in place. They ultimately have responsibility for managing the service from day to day. From a screening perspective, Dr. Doherty has secured a colposcopy adviser. There was a gap in this regard, and we have talked about it here. I am referring to someone within the programme to interface with the units on a day-to-day operational basis. We have just appointed someone in the past week after a long search to recruit someone. That will help from a screening perspective. Ultimately, the units work within the hospitals and we need to make sure the supports are available for them in the hospitals. There are practical aspects, which we have discussed, but there are also elements in terms of the personal impact on the staff of working in a service that is stretched and under pressure.
