It's interesting how in the U.K. they have a national audit office that basically establishes measures and targets for various departments and the way they insulate themselves using this. They say, “Here is something we're adopting; we're going to measure it a year out, and if we don't hit it we'll take it out.” It's quite public and transparent. It's not all secretive. It removes the public risk for politicians if they go in stating goals and objectives and they are not reached. Actually, it's kind of boring. There's less to talk about in the House of Commons when you say, “Here's the target; we didn't meet it, so we're trying something else.” I always thought that was impressive.
I wanted to move to a different question about the value of basic or scientific research. We have been talking a lot about the far end of the chain with commercialization, but what about the front end of the chain? What are your thoughts about the value and perhaps how we should be supporting that? Perhaps that's a question that can be open to all members of the panel.
