Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

On Windows 7, not so much because, as Mr. McCallion said, we have a whole heap of clinical systems relying on that. We have got ourselves away from and out of Windows 7 as quickly as we could, but we cannot risk damage to patient services, so we put in mitigations. We have had policies around all of those basic issues for years and the issue is getting the full implementation of them.
