Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the Minister emphasizing that a majority of time was spent at Stanton. Would it not make sense to put the doctors we have in practice in the community in those clinics that we have and turn up the heat and get a few more locums at Stanton? The concern I am hearing out there is that doctors are spending more time at Stanton than they are treating their own patients. It's an exhausting period and I have heard it's an exhausting arrangement. Why are we not stepping up the locums? What is slowing us down about implementing the nurse practitioners potentially seeing those 17 patients per day?
