This was brought up yesterday but I am pleased to tell the Member again that this is three-year funding from the federal government and the funding for each year is approved on a one-time basis and each year the funding sunsets and then renews again. This is the third year of programming that started in 2007-08. We are spending a total of $4.6 million under this project: $940,000 first year, $1.793 last year and this year we expect to spend $1.893, almost $1.9 million. We will be spending $1.068 million for CHNs, our community health nurses in our communities. We will be spending $600,000 for nurse practitioners and $225,000 this year on DI/PACS and IEHR which is the electronic equipment programming that I mentioned in my opening statement. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
