There are Department of Health people present, and while I appreciate that they might not be directly involved in this case, I hope they could take it back because we are not talking about somebody who ran their car into the back of another who is looking for €2,000 or €3,000. It is about whether somebody will have the mental age of a 15 year old when they reach 25 because they had narcolepsy, the supports were not in place for them, and nobody linked that to the reason they got it, which was a vaccine that GSK was advising, from November 2010, under European regulations, had severe adverse effects.
