I have a last question. In terms of other screening programmes, have anomalies arisen in terms of testing and false negatives, which I know are different in other programmes? What communications protocols have been followed? I very much hope the answer is "No" to this next question. Was it the same process of preparing reactive media statements rather than contacting patients? Whoever wants to answer that can put his or her hand up, because I am not sure. I assume it is Dr. Holohan.
