I thank Ms Gannon for her presentation. I wish to inform members that in correspondence No. 1316 we did invite Alexion to attend the committee, a matter to which Senator Colm Burke will refer later, but it has declined to appear. The letter is contained in the pack supplied to members. We now move to the question-and-answer session.
