It is not with regard to the screening programmes. It is actually when they present to the symptomatic breast clinic, so when they have a lump in their breast, they are sent away that day with the lump and told to come back, and that a scan will be sent out to them. Eleven or 12 years ago, when I went, I was scanned on that day. If I had not had cancer, I would not have been a return. That is where I think there are many people returning.
