Mr. John Hennessy:
Can I mention another matter? The medicines management programme was the second part of that process of trying to continue to get the further reductions in price that Professor Michael Barry leads out on. That is a structured programme of education and guidance for prescribers, particularly general practitioners, in regard to preferred products and preferred prescribing. That process is ongoing as well.
