Mr. John Connaghan:

In my limited time in office and with my limited knowledge, I visited the cervical cytology lab in the Coombe which is one of the suppliers. I saw first-hand what they were doing in terms of looking at the slides. It is a very onerous and intense process. It is double-manned; each slide is looked at twice. Within the Coombe there is an accredited training programme for the people involved in looking at the screens. Apart from that, I cannot give the Deputy any further information now but we can tell her later what that training programme encompasses and what international standards it accords with.
