As Deputy Martin is aware, this issue concerns the lives of women here. It is also true to say that if a general practitioner anywhere in the country has a concern about someone in his surgery who may be in this category, he will not say to her that he is sorry and that she will have to wait 18 months because of his concern that she cannot be screened. If the GP has a genuine concern that a person in his surgery has a family history of this and that there is a real risk, then obviously in such a case because it is in that category it has to receive priority and the patient must be given a screening.
