The Joint Committee on Health was told two weeks ago, and again last week, that information relating to the detection rates in respect of the US laboratories contracted to conduct cervical screening tests would be made available to the committee. In response to a similar question from my colleague, Teachta Pearse Doherty, the Tánaiste stated on Leaders' Questions on Thursday last that if there were any commitments to make files or documentation available to committees, the information would be forthcoming. That information has not been forthcoming or provided to the committee. Will the Taoiseach please explain the delay? Will he and the Minister for Health enter into a commitment that the information will be provided to both the committee and the House today?

Some of the data were made available by CervicalCheck on 5 May. It provided statistics across the three labs currently being used indicating a similar positive predictive value in each of those labs but differences in terms of high-grade lesions, low-grade lesions and so on. I am told by the people who know about these things that it is not straightforward and the data must be put together and the confidence intervals must be worked out to see the statistical range. That information is not yet available. However, it is under specific terms of reference of the Scally inquiry, which is mandated to give us a report next month. If Dr. Scally has information that is of significance, there is a commitment to put it in the public domain as soon as it is available to him.

Is that a "Yes" or a "No"? I do not understand the answer.

We do not want bits of information that people may misinterpret. It is important that when we get the facts, we get all of them. We do not have all of them yet.
