: Thank you. First, the item in the budget here, items under $50,000, is a slight increase. We have a comprehensive medical equipment evergreening plan that’s managed by the biomedical department at Stanton. Every five years we update our evergreening plan. This increase reflects our forecast for the next five years of what our annual costs of evergreening minor medical equipment.
Last fall, as part of the ’12-13 capital plan, we have approved about $3.2 million of a five-year evergreening plan for our major medical equipment. We did a comprehensive review of forecasting what our annual costs would be to evergreen all of our major equipment. Items that are planned for the ’12-13 year across the health system include endoscopy, physiological monitoring, anesthesia equipment, operating microscopes and clinical chemistry analyzers. We, again, do bulk purchasing between all the major facilities, Stanton, Inuvik, Fort
Smith and Hay River, to get economies of scale when we’re purchasing. Then we have a list, again, going for the next five years of all our major pieces of equipment, and then we’ll renew that evergreening plan every five years to make sure we have enough funding in the system.
