Mr. Jim Breslin:

We are talking about different things. If the Deputy is asking me about 2016, the question is one of clinical audit. Actually, clinical audit is a good thing. It is not something one would look at and say, "Good gosh, somebody is doing clinical audit." It is a good thing. What happened last week was that information we had provided that had been sourced from CervicalCheck was inaccurate. It was inaccurate within about five days of being provided to us.
