She apologises to the women impacted by the recent fault but adds it was only 0.2% of all eligible.

Women in Scotland aged 50 to 70 are routinely contacted about screening.
But delays within the programme meant 1,761 women were not invited for their final appointment by the time they had reached 71.
The health service said it would write to the women concerned to arrange screenings "as soon as possible".
Tory MSP Jamie Greene asks whether the government will provide an update on the Scottish Breast Screening Programme, in light of reports that many women were not contacted for their final check-up.

She highlights the Scottish government's statutory target for tackling child poverty, pointing out the UK government has scrapped its targets.
The first minister argues UK welfare policy is pushing children into poverty.

The Social Metrics Commission says the proposals make "significant changes to our understanding" of poverty.
The measurement puts 68% of those in families where no-one works in poverty and 9% in families where adults work full-time.
The government said it offered "further insight" into a "complex" issue.
SNP MSP Alasdair Allan asks how the Scottish government will use the Social Metrics Commission’s new framework for tackling poverty.
