Jonathan O'Brien: So nobody was aware in CervicalCheck, the HSE or the Department that women were not being informed through their clinicians. That is what I am being told now. If that is not the case, someone correct me.

Jonathan O'Brien: This is an important question. We have people from the Department, the HSE and even communications in the HSE and CervicalCheck, and nobody in the room was aware that up to 80% of women were not being informed through their clinicians until the Vicky Phelan case became public knowledge.

Jonathan O'Brien: Somebody needs to be held accountable for it. I am asking about whose responsibility it was to ensure that loop was closed. Mr. Gleeson feels it may or may not have been his responsibility. He is not sure, even to this day. Dr. O'Keeffe is saying it was the responsibility of the person under her to feed that information up to her.
