Mr. Cian O'Carroll:
There are 3,000 women who have been diagnosed with cervical cancer over the last ten years but, according to CervicalCheck's figures, fewer than 500 of those have been reviewed or looked back on by a second check of prior smears. The figures are quite complicated so it might be useful for the committee to understand how the numbers are broken down.
