Mr. Stephen Teap:

I suppose there is a week and a half left to present it, but that is where we are.

As I said in my opening statement, the term "limitations of screening" does not have an explanation to support it. Page 42 of the RCOG review makes it clear that "Screening failures do have serious consequences for affected women". It continues:

These are unfortunately inevitable given the limitations of cytology-based cervical screening. This however should not be taken to suggest that the programme overall is not working.

This is an interesting conclusion, given that the report does not even provide an explanation of the limitations being referred to.
