Thanks for the answer, and that’s quite an encouraging response. The question was posed in relation to a recent piece that appeared in the ‘British Medical Journal’, which was quite well publicised, so I’m sure you’re aware of it. Of course, we do have to be mindful of the risks posed, but we’re also trying to encourage young people to get involved in physical activity. So, I’m just looking for some reassurance that we weren’t going to overreact to this piece. So, I think your response is encouraging in that light, and I gather nothing has changed as a result of this piece in the BMJ.
