I welcome Ms Rachel Connors and Casey Connors to the Public Gallery. We will have a chat with them later on.
I thank the witnesses for attending. It has been a very enlightening meeting, and fair play to them for all of the great work they do.
I will ask questions that the other members have not had answered because I am the fifth or sixth member to speak in a row. On environmental conditions for somebody with epidermolysis bullosa, direct sunlight would obviously be detrimental, although perhaps I am wrong about that. With regard to environmental factors, what role does they play? Does exposure to sunlight play a role for the sufferer?
