Mr. Damien McCallion:

A total of 9% of the programme I mentioned earlier is in the public system in the Coombe. We aim to build that up to give greater resilience within the programme. Funding has been allocated on the capital programme to advance the development of a national cervical screening laboratory in the Coombe. We have a steering group in place with the Coombe, a joint group, and a project team and we are working on the designs for that. We are also working on the basis of a fast-track modular build to get it in place as quickly as possible. Equally critical is the need to develop the workforce, as I said earlier. There is a very small workforce for cervical screening cytology or cytopathology here in Ireland.
