It is doable. Deputy O'Connell raised a point earlier about the licensing issue. This the last of my questions. My understanding is that there is no real issue when it comes to licensing because even a drug like Armour Thyroid - I do not know if the witnesses are familiar with it - is not available on license but it is freely available once it is prescribed. Certain doctors would know about it. Is it a similar type of situation with the drugs that we discussed?
