I am sorry for being late. I was listening upstairs. I will follow on from Deputy Sherlock's points about drugs. We had a meeting here last week, and I do not want to put words in Professor Michael Barry's mouth, but there was almost an impression given that the public system is performing reasonably well. Deputy Sherlock made the point there about people having access to drugs possibly through their private insurers and so on, but in one of his retorts, Professor Barry said that some drugs are available on the public system that might not necessarily be available to private patients at one stage.

Is that the case? How many? Could Dr. McCarthy quantify that?
