Can I thank Adam Price for his questions? I’m pleased that he welcomes the work that I’m undertaking at the moment in looking at the entire landscape of advisory boards. It is extensive and I’ve drawn similar diagrams to understand exactly how many boards and organisations there are. We’ve not reached a final decision as of yet in terms of what boards will be created, but I would agree that we do need to have fewer stronger boards and advisory groups that are able to not just advise me in a timely fashion, but also make best use of the time of the experts who are actually on those boards.
