On medical devices, it is true to say everybody is piggy-backing on the United Kingdom’s regulation, but if there is a hard Brexit, we will be in a position where we will no longer be able to do that. There has historically been a high dependene on the United Kingdom. In May 2020 things are due to change. Therefore, we really have only a nine-month period in which something could go wrong. Is there a concern about new medical devices coming onto the market? Is there anything in particular that we think we will really need that will come on-stream in the next few months? I am asking the delegates to predict the future. Do they see anything coming out that patients may have to do without if there is a fallow period?
