There was a statement that a treatment programme and a report would be required. Sorry, it sounds like a report with regard to the treatment programme where you have to outline the background. Is this different from what would normally happen with a prescribed medicine? I presume it is not. Usually, you would give a background. There is also a statement that measurements would be required along the way. If we do not have the agreed medical research - it is not actually a medicine or recognised as a medicine - is it the consultative group that decides what the measurements and the response should be with a given patient?
