My time is almost up but I thank Professor McCormack. A body of work must be done on this, although I realise it is tangential to what we are discussing today. It relates to scoliosis and is relevant for anybody who faces any form of orthopaedic surgery. There is a need to look at a regulatory regime that sounds very weak now. I suggest in future weeks we undertake a body of work on this and perhaps we could have Professor McCormack and Mr. Green to speak further on the matter. I am sorry I took us on a tangent but it is very much linked to what young people are experiencing.
