I acknowledge that. I know that it has been a long morning. I have some specific questions. How do Irish guidelines adhere to the European guidelines for quality assurance in cervical screening? Have these been updated? Cytotechnologists recommend five minutes per slide and one minute for documentation. Have we a real-time analysis of where the Irish position rests with those guidelines? Do we need to address anything to meet the European gold standard? I can ask a few questions together if that is quicker.
