The number of new drugs requires a full, in-depth investigation right from the outset. However, don't forget that if you have 75 new drugs, last year you had 1,100. So now you have 1,200. The number of drugs that we are mandated to control is steadily creeping up. Each one of these drugs has to get a price review every year.
