Dr. Fergal Lynch:

We have access to a good deal of it and we have to grow other elements of it. There is no doubt about that.

In response to the other issues that were raised, we will move to lifetime community rating as quickly as we can. On availability of data for moving to chronic diseases and improving our health status measure, we already have a good deal of data that we do not use to the fullest extent, particularly from the hospital inpatient inquiry, HIPE, data, and casemix data can be used for that purpose. As we move increasingly in the risk equalisation space we will require more sophisticated data. Some of them are available, some not and need to be built over time.
