Mr. Damien McCallion:

We do get spikes, especially through the Christmas period and into the new year. In the run-up to Christmas, for example, women will typically not seek to get a smear result so the figures drop off. There are also seasonal variations so it is not ever an even distribution of both demand and capacity. My key point, however, is that until we get additional capacity we are still going to face significant challenges with the timeframe, whether that is 22 weeks or 24 weeks. We have to find that additional capacity and that is our priority at the moment.
