Cardinal Health, Inc. is looking for acquisition opportunities. Cardinal Health's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, George Barrett said, “We will continue to look at acquisitions that we think strengthen our opportunity for growth. I know that sounds like a throwaway comment, but that is the reality.

We have good drivers right now of growth internally. Again, particularly focused around margin expansion. But, for example, we do think that it is highly likely that we will continue to acquire in China.

Most of those acquisitions, as I am sure Jeff will tell you, are relatively small, but we will continue to look there. But there are a number of areas that we have said are strategically very important to us. Again, the movement of care towards -- away from the acute care centers towards the home and the ambulatory center.

Those are interesting to us. Clearly, specialty is a very important and interesting area for us. Anything around the preferred products.

Orthopedics is an area that we have been doing some interesting work. So we are going to be very open to acquisitions, but we tried to take a very, as you know, a very disciplined role perspective on acquisitions and how we add value [when we are pricing]. So we will continue to look.
