Yes, we fully intend to maximize the use of that equipment. It is more suitable for our small communities. Not only the telehealth, but also DI/PAC equipment will be in all of the small communities too. I just want to know that, and I do need to tell the Members that H1N1 right now is the number one priority and we have had to employ human resources who would not normally be dealing with public health issues in the department and in the regional health centres to address it. Everybody is fully geared up to deal with H1N1, but the telehealth machines and DI/PAC and electronic health records system is rolling out really nicely and we will do everything we can to fully maximize that, because it would really benefit and help us to deliver our care.
