On a personal note, I have a child with a long-term illness who requires a drug called Creon. When we go on holidays we have had to buy it because we forgot to bring it with us. The State provides the drug here. We paid, I think, €8 in Portugal. I have sometimes bought it here because things happen when one is moving around, and it cost €28, for the same quantity of the drug, approximately 100 capsules. That happened in the past two years. There is obviously some work still to be done.
