However, since she has decided to go down the route she has taken, I will certainly challenge what she has said. She said that the commitment on the cervical cancer vaccine was not reneged upon and merely delayed, and that all those who should have got it will get it. I remind her of her original promise to the House, which was that everybody aged from 13 to 15 would get it. Will they get it now? No, they will not. Girls who were 12 last year and are 12 this year will get it and those children who were 13, 14 or 15 years old 1.5 years ago will now not get it.
