Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there are no time constraints on a nurse practitioner. It depends on the patient the nurse practitioner is seeing and what flows out of that. One of the things that has been an impediment to how effective nurse practitioners can be is they haven't had the same support systems in place that are there for the doctors in terms of adequate waiting rooms, waiting rooms that are prepped and ready for their use and support and the issue of files and getting ready to see the next patient. So those are process things that we are working on to ensure that we can deal with it, so we can have the nurse practitioners be as efficient as possible. Thank you.
