That is a well-made point. I have a question for the ICS delegation. What is the position with regard to people who have undergone cancer treatment and who need screening as part of the follow-up? Are such people being seen for screening? My second question relates to the BreastCheck and bowel screening programmes. What is the reason for the delay?
It is very hard to understand it because both services are operated separate to the acute hospitals. Do the witnesses know why those services have not resumed?
