Dr. Peter McKenna:

I would like to give some clarification in case the Deputy thinks I am claiming that we are going to work miracles. I am grateful to him for his interest in this issue because additional resources will be required to address the problem. It is not going to be resource-neutral. Any help we can get in procuring these resources will be entirely welcome.

It will be particularly welcomed by the colposcopy community, who are very conscious of these waiting times. This is a group of individuals who are committed to dealing with their patients in the appropriate length of time and they would certainly be appreciative of the Deputy's interest should it help to resolve-----
