Mr. Damien McCallion:

The Deputy is asking a much broader question on the assurance around the laboratories. That has come from the ongoing performance monitoring being undertaken through the programme and through the independent review that was done by Dr. Gabriel Scally and Dr. Karin Denton on the performance of the laboratories. They have given that assurance over and above the assurance that is ongoing through the programme. Dr. Scally was very clear on the overall performance of the laboratories in the programme, notwithstanding the individual issues.
