Just to remind the chamber: this group has met once, and I think basically that was about how the group was going to go about its business. It just had an initial meeting. In relation to the gentlemen you mentioned before, Mr Will Delaat works with Merck Sharp & Dohme; David Grainger with Eli Lilly; and Mr Ian Chalmers and Mr Duncan O’Brien are in fact employees of Medicines Australia. That is the group. In relation to the minutes of those working groups, they are not made available. But I understand that a communique of the discussions held—a report on outcomes—will be on the website of the Department of Health and Ageing when it is finalised.
