Madam Speaker, the medevac area is very complex and I am approaching it with some caution. So you will have to excuse me. There was a problem that brought this to light and it was raised by Mr. Dent some time ago. So we are working our way through the process now. We have developed the terms of reference and standards for the medevac policy, in consultation with the experts in the field and have provided that to the health boards. The health boards have advised me that they will look at these documents and this is a good step, but we want to be actively involved with you in how to decide which aircraft to choose and where those aircraft should be located. I will say that I have told the health boards that I am more interested in regional aircraft, than having one central aircraft facility. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
