Maybe I will just finish on this. Quest Diagnostics diagnosed low-grade abnormalities at 4% in 2013, while the Coombe was finding 11.8% and Medlab was finding 10.7%. Now, how would that be explained? Is the same categorisation of lower-grade and higher-grade abnormalities used? I think this is important for people who have been diagnosed.

The last question is this. Will the document that the Minister mentioned today, the international clinical expert review, include people who were audited as well? Yes? Will their cases also be looked at? I met somebody who was audited. Disclosure was made to them a year after the diagnosis, but they do not feel that this disclosure was a full and frank one. I want to ensure that those people are considered.
