Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The National Joint Replacement Registry was established in 1998 and earlier this year a levy was introduced to support its work. Does this registry record how many of the new joint replacement products approved in the last four years have performed better in relation to rates of revision than the products previously available? If so, how many joints were approved and what proportion performed better?
