Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I issued the control earlier this year and it is a slow burner. The system tells me that, as we move now to single patient administration systems on our way to the electronic health record, it is probably going to take between 18 months and 24 months to achieve a substantial reduction. The principal point of the direction I have given is the system now has to progress that direction and achieve that.
