Professor Barry might comment further on that.
I welcome the fact that we will have a decision on Respreeza in three or four weeks. A constituent of mine was lucky enough to be part of the trial but she is now at her wits' end, living from month to month not knowing what is happening. I welcome, therefore, the fact that we will have a decision soon. Is there is a specific comparison between a patient who is being treated with Respreeza and a patient who is not, particularly in the context of hospitalisation and the cost associated with that?
