That analysis relates to the screening programme being done. It does not deal with other issues around other cancers. The misinformation out there is very much that once a person gets a clear smear and a clear result she is totally clear and does not have to worry about it for three years, whereas there are other cancers that the tests may not identify. Would the witness agree with this?
