BioMed Central thanks the authors for clarifying their competing interests and wishes to make clear its view that even employees of non profit public charities may have competing interests (financial or otherwise) and that it is always best to err on the side of declaring these. However, at the time of publication of the original article, our competing interests policy was not sufficiently explicit on this point. We will, therefore, be updating it in due course.
