As I said earlier, not being able to fill their doctors’ positions or having had a hard time finding nurses to staff all the vacant positions we have — those do cost money. Those are major drivers of health care and social service expenditures. We have not had, I don’t think, a deficit recovery plan at the authority, because they are taxed in their resources to provide the services they do. We don’t want to have to face the situation of reducing services.
