I propose to take Questions Nos. 410 and 533 together.

The Deputies' questions relate to CervicalCheck, which is the responsibility of the National Cancer Screening Service. Accordingly, my Department has requested the Chief Executive Officer of the Service to respond directly to the Deputies in this regard.
