Dr. Lorraine Doherty:

I reassure the committee that we do not take this lightly at all. We make every effort possible to find people who are not answering phones who we have not been able to get to come for the test. The initial contact is made within the contact tracing centres. At least four or five attempts are made to contact people. Where there is an inability to do so, their details are passed to the local public health department, which might have local knowledge on how to find the contacts.

We put a lot of time and effort into trying to find them.

Regarding the data, as I said this morning, we have been looking at these data and we intend to do further analysis on them and to look at what factors might be influencing the reluctance to come to testing and whether there is a particular demographic that is not turning up for testing.
