Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It's small capital...It's O and M items. They come out of our O and M budget. We have approximately $1.5 million budgeted for that item. We allocate $250,000 to the authorities to distribute it among the authorities to meet their pressing equipment needs. We are also in the process of purchasing the biomedical equipment and purchasing in excess of $1 million a year on behalf of all the authorities. The other items of equipment in the health centres, stretchers and so on, are part of the O and M responsibilities of the authorities. They should be ensuring that their health centres are adequately provisioned with those pieces of equipment. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
