I refer to the retaining of the services within the country, the use of laboratories within the country and the development of the necessary technology to ensure that the appropriate laboratory facilities are available. We have fairly sophisticated laboratories in the country, some of which are located in my constituency. I have raised queries about these in the past. We tend to refer abroad where we have a lack of capacity at home. My last question is about the merging of the requirements with the capacity, which was referred to earlier. How are we working on that? Are we working on a particular deadline and objective?
