The only thing that I can say, Mr. Chairman, is that the $3.7 million is the amount that was needed in order to move to this primary care health service model, and included all the pieces that Mr. Nitah referred to. It has no relationship to the amount of money in the trust fund. We did not look at the trust fund and decide we were going to draw it all out there or anything, or only take a portion of it; but it is the amount of money, the $3.7 million which reflects the amount of money that was necessary for the one-time costs, plus the prorated part of the ongoing cost for this fiscal year.
