And it's not just the CDR: in more and more decisions, a barrier is being erected between doctor and patient. I think that Mr. Ferdinand has raised an important point because it seems quite clear in the case of new drugs, which are the ones we are talking about here. If the list is longer, you won't use it all, but there will be more choice. At the moment, it is practically impossible to decide if one medicine is good for everyone at all times. Each province, even each region, as well as each doctor can make the best decisions for their patients.
