Would any of the witnesses like to comment on my assertion that nobody is looking into "the something" that went wrong, which is in the guidelines issued by the NHS, which are regularly quoted. Has anybody looked into the "something" that went wrong? I accept the points regarding the limitations of screening, false negatives and false positives but when "something" goes wrong, should not there be an investigation?
