So it is about using technology, but the Minister is correct in what the end application is. In Deline, when I checked this morning, and of course the rollout is being phased in so not all communities are on the same time, and this is why they’re using the coordinators across the system. These are not full-time positions in an area. It’s around the change management better used. But in Deline, you’ve used it so far for an OBGYN consult, you’ve used it for mental health and addictions counselling, there have been some consults with a couple of specialists and there’s been group counselling. That’s just what I remember from an e-mail this morning when we checked from yesterday. Have we used it fully yet everywhere? No. That’s part of the coordinator’s job, is not just about the equipment, but to help us with the change management and how we can continue to use all of this technology further and further so the outcome being the best care for patients and more connection with specialists or other providers as they need it. This, again, gets back to enhancing community delivery so people don’t have to keep moving to come in to see specialists. They can be supported in their own community this way. Thank you.
