Page 67 of the programme for Government refers to health and ensuring support in a crisis. When he answered Deputy Micheál Martin earlier, the Taoiseach alluded to the fact that the people who failed to escalate the matter to do with cervical screening did so on the basis that they assumed others were dealing with it. On that basis, will the Taoiseach outline for us whether any disciplinary processes are under way? Is anyone on verbal or written warnings? Is it to be the case that there will be no tangible sanction as a result of the failure by our system to acknowledge a culture of containment and preventing information from getting to those who most need it, namely, the patients?

There are no disciplinary processes under way that I am aware of. Not being the employer, however, I may not necessarily be aware of them for obvious reasons.

As I have said before, we are seeking four things. The first is to care for the women and their families. The second is to get to the truth. The third is to establish accountability. The fourth is to rebuild confidence in cancer screening. Specifically, Deputy MacSharry talks about truth and accountability. We have the Scally inquiry. The best way we can get to the truth is through the Scally inquiry. The best way we can get to the truth is to examine all of the facts, take them in totality and then draw conclusions. I do not believe we can get to the truth by examining bits of facts or snippets of information as they come out, often out of context. That is not how we get to the truth. I appeal to people to allow Dr. Scally, assisted by Karin Denton, to get on with his inquiry and to get to as many facts as quickly as we possibly can. If we are genuinely interested in the truth, that is what we should be doing.
