Thank you, Madam Chair. The primary factor behind the deficits at the Beaufort-Delta authority has been nurse and front-line staff overtime, callback and relief, as well as some costs related to physician services, but less so. As well, another factor which is dealt with in this year’s budget is they were currently funded at a 17 percent benefits and the cost of benefits is actually closer to 23 percent. In the 24/7 operations they have to incur those full costs so we’re addressing that in this year’s budget.
