I acknowledge Mr. Johnson is not suggesting microchips for everybody but I take that point. It is important that we begin with a register and then go to the next generation of ensuring that we do not silo information.

On that data issue, one of the points made in Mr. Collins's opening statement was about the incredibly high numbers of women with heart disease. In the past few years, international studies have implied that heart disease in women, or negative outcomes, is increasing. What are the answers in tackling that issue for women, in particular, including the data issue but also, perhaps, public information?
