I think one of the most significant points is that when we released this report, and we released firstly a data update at our Geneva Forum in March, we then held a round table with key stakeholders and governments at the World Health Assembly, and then we launched the report at OECD.

And what was clear throughout all of that is in fact the interest and the increasing awareness of self-care amongst all types of countries.

So just building on what Ben is saying, self-care has different sort of aspects in different areas, but it applies everywhere.
17:54
And it may apply everywhere slightly differently, but the point is it still has that triple whim effect in, let's say, the three regions if we wanted to define it that way.
18:08
And because of that and because of what we've done and the engagement we've had, I mean, the OECD is very interested in continuing this discussion with us.

Yeah.
17:01
A- a- and I think I'll build on what, what Ben has just said.
17:04
I think o- one of the, um, most significant points is that when we, when we released this report and we ...
17:14
when w- we, we released first, firstly a data update at our Geneva forum in March.

We then held a round table, um, with key stakeholders and governments at the World Health Assembly, and then we launched the report at OECD.
