I committed earlier in the day to get back to the Member on that and I just want to say that, for the record, when our Member said earlier that a community was without a social worker for three years or something like that, I think it’s important to state for the record that where there is a vacancy, the system would have social workers going in and covering those. It’s not necessarily about coverage of the work. I just want to say that I appreciate that for many communities they would like to see the actual body of the social worker there working in the community, getting to know the community and not be flying in and out. So I just want to state I understand what the Member’s concerns are and to say, for the record, that no community will be without a social worker for three years, they would still have access and we’re talking about two different things. Thank you.
