I have a related question. We are one of the top four or five spenders on general health services. Will our guests give us an idea of where we are spending more since we have fewer consultants per thousand of the population than most of our competitors across Europe and the OECD countries. Can some light be shed on where we are spending our money to bring us up to that level? There must be some factor somewhere that is a dominant factor that will give us some insight into where we are missing out.
