Mr. Damien McCallion:

I do not think so. I wish I did. All joking aside, because it is a very serious matter, we are able to prioritise the colposcopy cases. We are not in a position to differentiate between the out-of-cycle cases and the in-cycle cases in terms of the laboratories. That is a serious challenge for us.
