I understand that but, in its report, the HSE states it has established an independently chaired group made up of clinicians, patient representatives, public health professionals and representatives of medical bodies which has met four times to date. This was a whole year ago. Between 250 and 300 women have been diagnosed with cervical cancer since then. If I was one of them, I would feel let down by the State, the system, the HSE and everybody concerned on the basis that no audit of my screening history is available to me. There have been four meetings over a year to decide with what that audit system is to be replaced. It is not acceptable.
