That does not sound prohibitive, which is fine. I know we were to focus on the HPV vaccine today but while Mr. Connaghan is here, I have a related question. I asked him a few times previously about claims that are settled without admission of liability. We established that there is not a mandatory monitoring or retraining period for the health professionals involved. I asked the SCA officials as well. They seemed to be agnostic about it. We toed and froed a little bit but the bottom line was that there is no process and we depend on the regulatory bodies. The bottom line is that there is nothing. Have any moves been made in that direction?
