Who wants to go first? Don't bother to read what you've prepared. Just tell us from the heart. I'm sure you've got lots to tell us. But keep it reasonably brief. So, Anne-Marie, do you want to go first?

Dr Burrell, Plan International talks about prevention being an ambitious, brave and long-term goal. In your research you refer to political inertia towards prevention. Could you just expand on this and outline what you think the obstacles facing policy makers…
