i'd be fascinated to know if the false negative results being produced
are outside of the recognised false negative rate for the test; does
anybody know what the positive and negative predictive values for
cervical screening are?

I would be fascinated to hear from anybody who can tell me why these
screening catastrophes always seem to occur in cervical cancer
screening.......and if there are any other areas of health which might
be
similarly prone to clinical errors/differences.
