That does not explain why that did not happen last November.

I am shocked that the 162 women at the centre of this scandal have not all been contacted. I expected after the Minister set up the expert group that those women would be contacted by Friday last. The number is 162 which should be a manageable number to make contact with. I cannot believe that five days later those women have not all been contacted. How many have not yet been contacted and can the Minister give us an assurance that tomorrow at the very latest they will all be engaged with?
