Ms Rachel Morrogh:

I am afraid that we do not have those data. I think that representatives from the screening service will be before the committee this afternoon and they may have the data. If they do not, we can certainly ask them for it through our own channels.

On the resumption of screening, as I said earlier, we do welcome the resumption of CervicalCheck but we are disappointed that BowelScreen and BreastCheck have not resumed. We do not have sight of specific data in respect of backlogs. For the official figures, the screening service may be able to talk to the Deputy about what they are specifically. We have done our own calculations on the number of cancers and pre-cancers that we think have gone undetected during the period that screening has been paused. Regarding cervical cancer, we think that in the past four months approximately 1,000 pre-cancers would not have been detected and in the region of 33 cervical cancers. That is obviously of major concern to us and it underscores the need for screening services to resume as fully as they can as soon as it is safe to do so.
