Mr. John Connaghan:

If I take the typical four stages of cancer progression - stage 1, stage 2 , stage 3 and stage 4, which is the most severe period in terms of the progression of cancer - I think the Deputy is asking us to take the 209 patients and subdivide them into these stages. The only issue I have with that is that we are still subject to patient confidentiality. I would be loath to say that we could automatically provide that if there was going to be a patient confidentiality issue but I will look to some of my clinical colleagues for advice on that.
