Don't know how true this is but obviously Cegedim have two of the ETP recognised systems on the market so you think they'd have some knowledge of the situation.
Can't see this being a major problem for HMG beyond the first three months. It would also mean that they can close off the fiscal year two months earlier. But I'm no expert on these matters.
