I would just like to get confirmation on the rationale for this budget line. I recognize that there is an increase in costs due to the number of placements in the south, but the second part of that sentence states, "...increased costs for services provided by southern facilities." Is that a result of increased costs for medical travel due to the closing of the ICU?
