I will start with Dr. Russell. I am pleased that she drew a distinction between screening and diagnosis. It is important to repeat that they are not one and the same.

Do the witnesses know the up-to-date number of people screened this year compared with last year? We all accept the reasons for Covid interrupting screening services this year, but do they have the up-to-date figures for January to the end of November compared to 2019?
