Is it feasible to have a centre of excellence in Europe, in this country or somewhere similarly located, with which the medical profession and patients, if necessary, could make contact with a view to identification of a disease, diagnosis, early diagnosis and treatment? Where can we get information on orphan drugs? Is it possible to get it from a central location in such a way that it would be of benefit to the medical profession?
