I’m glad that Mark Isherwood again has followed on from Vikki Howell’s question about new ways of raising awareness about the importance of cervical screening. Just to add that I made the point about the way in which local primary care clusters are working with public health teams to consider uptakes, screening uptake, particularly in the areas where there is the lowest uptake. And they’re looking, for example, at social media activity, which will be a new way of raising awareness, but you also add the importance of the roles that parents, fathers, brothers can play as well in terms of raising awareness of this vital screening programme.

You’ve given a very positive profile for the role of fathers in advance of Father’s Day on Sunday.
