Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I take the Member’s point and I stand to be corrected. I don’t have the information from five years back, but I do have the information in front of me for 2008 and 2009 compared to this upcoming year. We had 51 adults in 2008-2009 for 15,000 bed days and for this year we project to have 52 for 11,900 bed days, so we are having about 4,000 less but the cost will be higher because of the costs going up per bed.

So I am wondering if he could be more specific about exactly what he would like us to get. Thank you.

Yes, please. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I was going to ask if the Member could give me more information about exactly what she is looking for because it is still not clear to me exactly, maybe she could help me with more detail. Thank you.

Thank you. Yes, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The clinic is slated to open on April 1st, provided that everything is going well. I think they are. I haven’t heard any other issues. The other clinics are expiring within two to six months after the new clinic opens. It was designed that way and it was planned that way. Thank you.
