Madam Chairperson, there is an ongoing process that each board undertakes to do annual maintenance and assessment of the diagnostic equipment it has in its inventory. The work involved in both, repairing this equipment and assessing its condition is used annually in a dialogue between the boards and the department around decisions on minor capital replacement for equipment. In the previous year the board CEOs and the director of Financial Management Services met to determine the most pressing priorities. The money was allocated according to that forum. It was used to replace existing equipment. Thank you.
