Ms Marie Culliton:

The Deputy is right. It should have rung some alarm bells. We can look at the statistics and say we have a change in results, so it moved from being negative to being borderline. That does not have a particular clinical impact. We need to look at the clinical impact of the established error without jumping to conclusions. I offer my sympathies to all the women who got a letter that indicates that there was a mistake in their treatment, but we have to wait until the Scally report is issued. He is doing an in-depth audit that will, hopefully, give us what we believe might be a heat map telling us if there is a problem in one particular laboratory, if it was with a cluster of years and if it was a cluster of people who were working there.
