Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it has been considered, but as I have indicated in the past the capital requests do come from the boards and we support them if the priority and need is there. To date there has not been any specific requests for those portable mammography units. I would like to say it is an important part of breast cancer screening, but it is just as important to recognize annual clinic examinations and self-examinations are also an important part of possible early detection of breast cancer, Mr. Speaker.
