Well, I think the clues in the name in terms of, we call it a heart health MOT, our standard MOT is a yearly investigation.
I think that's a sensible time frame.
We don't want to be too paranoid checking blood tests every two or three months.
Equally, a test once a year gives us a baseline.
So if things are going in the wrong direction and we're a little bit concerned about the signals we're seeing, we may see you a bit sooner, maybe in six months rather than a year.
