Okay. That is grand.

The Department said it looked at 85,000 prescriptions. A total of 84,915 have come in. Does that not give the Department an indication that it needs to wait until next January at least to see what the balance is and that it cannot jump in? At the moment, there are 84,915 to the vets, 85 to the merchants. Does that not worry the Department? Should it not wait another six months and watch this because what is happening could be a disaster?
