Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, when we are dealing with boards where there have been expenditures of monies that were expended on avoidable costs, the operational review will reveal that. Those situations will be corrected with the boards.
There are capacity issues and I am not trying to say there are no efficiencies and things could not be done better, but there have been challenges facing the boards. There are capacity issues with the boards where almost all of the boards have had the same kinds of recruitment and retention issues, increased medical travel costs associated with personnel and human resources issues.
There are some consistent threads through some of the challenges that some of the boards have been facing so we want to be receptive to that as well. I do not think the boards or the department wants to take an approach that is not responsible. We want to manage the resources that we have in the best way and I believe that the boards are operating in that same vein as well.
Where there might be things that could have been avoided, the review will reveal those things and they will be addressed.
