On the confidentiality agreements, and this is my last question, it was said that they have not been used in the last number of years. Is that in every case and not just in cervical smear tests? I understand, first of all, that Ms Vicky Phelan said that she was asked to have a confidentiality clause. Is Mr. Connaghan saying, openly, that the HSE has not used confidentiality clauses for years?
