I am not certain of that. Dr. McQuillan was making a point that there had been statistics released that €X had been saved as a consequence of the introduction, which, in my view, would be tasteless. I wonder could Professor Lewis comment on that and can she give us any sense of any evidence in terms of the other experiences.
Finally, there is also a comment in the statement Dr. McQuillan submitted to the committee to the effect that "Changing the law to allow assisted suicide and euthanasia will endanger the lives of many." I wonder, as this is the last engagement, if Professor Lewis would like to comment on that.
