Just to make sure that communication is at its best today, the surgical unit was closed due to a low patient count or census and, as I stated earlier, it was an adjustment that was made. The actual operating unit was not disbanded or anything like that at all. The facility continues to operate in the same manner. The operating room remains open and in use, and the patients do not have to wait any longer for surgery as a result of this closure. It is just a reorganization of where patients are put. Just to assure the patients out there who are using the Stanton Hospital, there is no diminishing of the service in any way. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
