Mr. Chairman, the Minister said we now have six partnership agreements in place. Our district directors are at various stages of negotiating further ones. We also are beginning district meetings starting this month. At that time, we will be raising this issue with the LHOs again. I have also assigned one senior person who reports directly to me to monitor what is happening and ensure, if there are any cases where we are moving too fast or we aren't providing the support to the LHOs, that we find a way of remedying that situation. We are aware of it and we want to be careful we don't swamp the LHOs. The six agreements so far are working well. I don't see any major problems.
