Mr. Jim Breslin:
It is probably even a step further from a demand led scheme. One has to create the demand, whereas in many schemes people will apply. The issue here is that we must get out in the community, tell people about it and create awareness that we have a treatment. In doing that we will get more people into the programme. I believe it is possible to construct a middle ground between the two perspectives. The thing is to continually review the targets. This is changing so much so quickly we could set a target that turned out to be under-ambitious and then only meet that target.
