Ms Bríd Burke:

I have some of the detail on that. The operation in Manchester had started in February 2016 and we were not aware of it at that time. MedLab had decided to hire a cytoscreener. It is a slightly different qualification, and this had been agreed with the National Screening Service. MedLab was informing us that it was hiring a cytoscreener for the laboratory in Manchester. This is what that communication was about. Subsequently, MedLab hired two locum staff, but the laboratory would not necessarily have let us know about that because it is not a requirement. Laboratories frequently change staff and add on new members of staff without informing us. That would be normal.
