I understand so, but the principle of capturing data across a 12-month period is pretty fundamental to getting quality data. We need to get a full annual cycle of pharmaceutical consumption so that we are capturing the full 12 months of usage. I do not think it is fair to capture just a portion of the year and then try and extrapolate what consumption might be for other parts of the year.
