My view is that the Coombe Hospital has an ability, subject to appropriate investment and expansion, to do an awful lot more. Particularly as we move to HPV testing, this will provide an opportunity to look at the entire configuration of our screening programme. The HSE has undertaken to look at what the creation of a national laboratory at the Coombe would look like and the resources and staffing that would be required. I expect that very shortly, certainly in the coming months, we will receive what one might call a project plan.
