This has been very negative from the point of view of the women who have been affected and gone through much trauma, suffering and anxiety as a result. I have a question on information we got a long time ago but it is not obvious just now. How many women had a positive result from the screening? Did the screening detect on time and enable the women detected to receive treatment which, in turn, was successful?
