When we talked earlier, and back in 2022, about an evolving understanding, we know that what is really important in healthcare is data. If we are not capturing this, how can we then know the full extent of the illness and what level of recovery there is, depending on the patient? I refer to a situation where I cannot get a percentage after 1,000 or 2,000 patients have been seen, or whatever the number is, within the relevant period. Mention was only made of a certain percentage having shown significant or partial improvement. To me, this is very basic data.
