I would ask if the Minister could clarify that officially, because I think the last time I spoke to the deputy it was the reverse problem, which is the FMB’s authority -- to make sure it’s very clear -- restricts the use of those allocations in any other form but in the prescribed form.

Setting that aside with very little time left on the clock, I’ve raised, oddly enough in the same sort of circumstance, a timing that is raised with the deputy minister about what work is being done of rolling in physician costs into the departmental costs. One of the problems I’ve noticed is juggling those costs and managing them. As the Minister had said, and I believe she’s correct, is that if you’re using a physician cost and you don’t have a physician, you can get a locum. Obviously, that’s the pot that you pay that particular locum in. We know that’s not the cheapest solution and there becomes problems of funding and balancing those particular funds and paying across authorities, et cetera, et cetera. Without a lengthy sort of description, I’m sure everyone gets the issue.

What work is being done, in my view, which would be a better solution over the long haul, to roll physician costs into the departmental costs? Therefore it would be organized and probably streamlined for when we transfer physicians to provide services outside of their normal authority. A department could carry the locum costs which are usually blamed for part of the reason they go over their budget and require extra funds. So in other words, what type of work is being done to address that type of issue with the solution I am trying to propose that I think could go a long way?
