With respect, Deputy O'Connell's question was about what is being done. There is acknowledgement that there is not a range of supports in place for - this is not a medical term - the fallout or aftermath of surviving cervical cancer in particular. There were a number of issues raised regarding the type of support and-or intervention that a woman might need. If I am understanding her correctly, that is the issue Deputy O'Connell wanted addressed. It is not so much an acknowledgement of it, which is grand, but more what plans are in place to deal specifically with the fallout.
