I thank the Minister of State for that. The crux of this issue is choice. As I said, it is really about having the right technology for the right person at the right time on that person's medical journey when it comes to diabetes. The concept of basing decisions on age criteria rather than clinical need is certainly an issue. I welcome the report that is going to come from the HSE in the next couple of months. Hopefully that will shed some light on the issue. Again, this should come down to clinical need rather than age criteria.
