Mr. Tony O'Brien:

Once we declare a serious incident management event, the things the Deputy has identified are not the immediate focus. The immediate focus here has been as follows. First, to make sure we understood the totality of the nature of the audit and, as the Deputy is aware, we learned during the process issues to do with that. Second, to make sure there were effective processes in place to communicate with all of those who were the subject of the audit. We have got, I think, to 201 of 209. There is challenge establishing communication with others who may be out of the jurisdiction or on leave but we will pursue that continuously. Third, to deal with all of the persons who, as a result of concerns or worries, are making contact with the helpline. We are arranging for each of them to have a detailed, over-the-telephone medical consultation. That is taking quite some time. We are also carrying through a number of data check processes to ensure that we have a full picture on this. That has to be the priority at this time. Other things will follow in due course and we also now have the appointment by the Government of Dr. Scally to carry out the scoping exercise, with which we will co-operate with fully.
