I am conscious of time. I want to ask about Alzheimer's disease. We are told that hips, knees, etc., can be replaced but that the brain will be the problem area of the future, with the exception of livers and hearts. Do the delegates believe society is not doing enough on health? The World Health Organization released a statistic in the past ten days to the effect that physical activity is one of the keys in keeping Alzheimer's disease at bay. What in particular can we do? How much money is required?
