Ms Nicola Cassidy:

It would really help us plan. When you do not know the numbers, how can you set up programmes like the pulmonary rehab? I am thinking of the hospital pulmonary rehab programmes, which will always be oversubscribed because we do not know the numbers and if we have numbers that can be fitted into the healthcare plan for those patients. We also need to know how many patients are getting the medication, how many patients need the oxygen, and what supports they need. Our figures are based on figures we are extrapolating from Europe, and our figures may be grossly inaccurate, but we do not know. I will hand over to Professor-----
