My final question relates to the GDPR. If there is a no-deal Brexit, the UK will not be governed by the GDPR. There is quite an active exchange of patient information, whether for the treatment abroad scheme or various others, particularly between the North and South. Given that the UK will be outside the GDPR regime and that we have a statutory responsibility to protect the data of our citizens here, what are the implications of that? For example, if somebody travels to Northern Ireland for a cataract operation, as happens frequently enough, are there any GDPR implications?
