I understand the point the Deputy is raising, but I do not think his case is strengthened because of the requirements under the legislation. In so far as he has a case to make for the amendment, it is already dealt with. A person will have new medicines for the same purpose; therefore, if he or she has one, two or three branded medicines, one, two or all three might be replaced in the future. They will still have three medicines. If the Deputy has a case to make for having a more rigorous information regime, it is already made. They are replacement drugs. Does the Deputy understand the point I am making?
