Like everybody else I thank our witnesses for coming to the committee this morning and for the information. I was a member of the previous health committee and there are some matters I will focus on for the moment.

Public confidence in the system was affected by the cases where CervicalCheck did not go right and the women were not informed in time or the results were read incorrectly. To what extent has confidence been restored not only in respect of women and the system's ability to deal with their cases quickly, effectively and efficiently but also in respect of all forms of cancer early diagnosis?
