Well, let me get to that. But I mean, first of all, Farmac's whole job is to make sure we're getting the best bang for buck, and I I trust them to do that. But so far as the um uh diabetes, look what's happening is there's a proposal. It's open to consultation uh until next Thursday. It's not actually final, but the proposal is to change the clinical criteria for getting diabetes prevention drugs. And that means that you'll no longer have stories like I've heard many, many times. I went to my doctor, they said, yep, if you were Māori or Pacific, you would qualify for this for free. But because you're not, you have to pay. We've got to stop that. It's so divisive. So instead, uh Farmac are changing the clinical criteria. So around 10,000 more people overall will qualify. About a third of those people uh will be Māori or Pacific anyway. Anyone who's currently on these drugs uh will continue to get them, so nothing's been taken away from anybody. But of course, all the loves and your dear old uh Tianuah uh at one news uh she's misreading the the studies uh from Waikato Uni and and getting into a ladder. But this is actually a positive thing. No discrimination, more access, nobody loses anything.
