Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, certainly I believe it has made the process a bit more cumbersome in that, for timing. First of all getting the approval, which I had indicated from our understanding, takes about four to six weeks, once the request is put in. Then having, if the Member is correct in, communities where there may not be a dentist, having to wait for a dentist to return or having to send the individual out and coordinating the travel so that the services can be available. It will certainly add to the length of time it is going to take for an individual, once they are assessed, to the time they receive their full treatment. Thank you.
