In his opening statement, Mr. Watt also spoke about the whole issue of orphan drugs, new drugs, and the spiralling cost of drugs. There is a concern, which this committee has articulated before, that we are slow to introduce new drugs in this country compared to other European countries. Could Mr. Watt quickly elaborate on what was contained in his statement in that regard?
