Yes. But there are gaps in information, and these are the gaps we're now starting to fill through other types of studies. The neurological health study is not just looking at one source of data. It's looking at data on surveys that are being conducted by Statistics Canada. It's doing new studies that interview patients, in particular. It's reaching out into communities to understand neurological conditions more effectively and comprehensively. What we're doing is creating a whole suite of different types of studies and surveys that allow us to fill in the pieces of the puzzle around these conditions.
Yes, we're concerned about rising rates of neurological conditions in the country. We know that the aging of the population has an impact. We're trying to learn more about autism, which is another new dimension of our work. We're putting in place the ability—again for the first time—to track cases of autism in the country, and not only from the health perspective. As you know, oftentimes it's the education or social service system that's picking up cases of autism before they're ever known in the health system.
These are complex ventures. They take time because you have to standardize the way you are collecting data so everybody is doing it in the same way. Otherwise, we get a mishmash of information about rates and prevalence and we don't know what to do with it because people are collecting it in different ways and it doesn't mean the same thing.
