Dr. Yvonne Smyth:

Exactly. If you have had a heart attack or a bypass then you might meet the rest of the criteria. The rest of the criteria involves blood testing within four weeks, which sometimes can be difficult to see somebody have that and be able to upload that data. They have to go on another drug called an ezetimibe which affects cholesterol absorption to the gut. You have to demonstrate that they have taken that. We do not have a joined-up pharmacy system like they have in New Zealand to demonstrate what people have been prescribed and what they have been taking. It is very difficult to prescribe these drugs.
