This country is not stockpiling medicines because it has the headroom of normal supply. The headroom is up to 12 weeks and that can be replenished in the intervening period. The only issue is devices and that is a historical issue because of the piggybacking on the UK regulations. We are stockpiling surgical packs and so forth to some extent, but that is because of the device element and not the drug element. Is that correct? I only have three minutes.
