Thank you very much. We have the health Minister also here. It would be good to have this interaction, really. I worked on it very much, on the preventative aspect of diabetes type 2, and in that period of time, when the patient is seen by the GP and when he's referred to the dietician for the first time, we waste roughly about two or three months. And it is that time, if that is taken up by the health board, by the primary health, that you will be able to prevent diabetes in those patients, and I have worked on it. If the Minister wants, I would be grateful to discuss it further with you.
