That is quite right. Thank you, Member for Moreton. It is vital that we convey this message of prevention clearly, as so many cases could be avoided if the risk factors were known early. Pathology testing is a sophisticated way of detecting risk factors in order to put preventive measures in place. Interestingly, 70 per cent of the wider medical community rely on those tests. Next Tuesday I will also be pleased to hold a research progress event with Juvenile Diabetes Research Association, who have been working hard in the area of type 1 diabetes.
