Mr. Cian O'Carroll:

I would like to make one brief comment on Deputy O'Connell's question. She stated that the 3,000 women who have been diagnosed with cervical cancer over the last ten years, during the life of CervicalCheck, had been audited or subject to an audit. In fact the number is less than 500 - of those who have been subject to an audit and a review of their case.

It is important to be aware of that.
