Exactly, because nobody is representing these patients on the NHP.

Ms O'Shea talked a little about the difference between the cohort who might experience an event and then maybe need quite long rehabilitation and people who may be born with a congenital issue.

We have had a very successful approach to type 1 with the DAFNE scheme, which is very much about one-on-one lifestyle management.
