Ms Michele Tait:
No. The 2004 legislation requires all diagnoses of hepatitis C to be notified, that is, any diagnosis that takes place. On the database to which I referred earlier, which related to State-infected patients, it was recommended that a clinical database to measure their progression through their disease would be established. This is based on the patient's consent.
