Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, Deline does have a telehealth site. It's an existing site and it's for primary care. In terms of the kinds of services it's capable of providing, there is a long list like orthopaedics; biomedical services; dermatology; diabetes education; dialysis consultation; ear, nose and throat; some neurology issues; ultrasound, to name a few. Mr. Chairman, it's an issue that was identified by the Social Programs committee and it's one where we haven't had the resources to expand it to the extent that we'd like. It's one that I think has value, as well. We have to continue to work on it. One of the problems is if there's a high turnover of staff, it makes the use of that kind of service more difficult as well, just because a lack of familiarity goes with the patients as well as the staff and the equipment. Thank you.
