Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this process for reimbursement is something that is laid out by policy of the Department of Health and Social Services. I think the first place I would have to take this to is the department to see if there is some alternative way of direct billing for this. Certainly, if such a change was agreed to, then we could undertake it. The secondary step would be to deal with the pharmacies with the change of practice and have it direct billed if it is possible to do it. I do not know what the reasons may be that would preclude that from happening. Thank you.
