Dr. Harkin has referred to public private partnership but I am referring to public only. I am trying to understand whether it is just the reality that the private companies must carry out the work and we must put in legal and financial ways of securing the intellectual property, IP, or is there publicly-owned research infrastructure globally that can do it? Are we reliant on the private companies to perform the research and development, clinical trials and so on?
