I thank Dr. Glynn for his presentation. May I go back to the AstraZeneca issue? I know many people have raised it. It is about getting information out there. We are now talking about the over-60s and saying the focus will be on AstraZeneca, but we have a huge problem now in that they are not convinced. I wonder if a lot more could be done to get information out there to show why this decision has been arrived at. What has been put out there so far - the details of the research, etc. - may be available but is not out there in a broad sense, and I wonder if a lot more could be done on that. Is Dr. Glynn aware of any plans by the HSE to get information out there to the public on the issue?
