The original work in Stanton looked at services in the current state and the issue is how we push greater services out to the community and we use technology to support some of that. Some of the services also have to be looked at. How can we move some services, for example, to Hay River? How can we use our physicians in a different way to mobilize? So that work on the real adjusted service plan under Foundation for Change has begun with the CEOs and myself, also with the medical directors and a few directors around how we’ll actually have the ability. What services can we continue to do? What other services and how is the best way to deliver it? So the initial planning before you get into master planning for the capital purpose has started. They will dovetail at some point and part of the medical review is also going to give us input into what kind of services we are actually moving people for, how we can better do some of those here or do support community to manage them. So it’s very complex. I would suggest that it’s probably a year out before we can start to marry that up with the capital planning process. That again is a different process, so I can’t say when that would fit on a master plan.
