I will keep moving on because I am conscious of time. Do we know how many therapists, by their designation as SLTs and OTs, have left the CDNTs since January 2022? If we know the answer to that question, do we know if those people have been replaced? What is the status of the individual files? I ask this because, again, we have the child interfacing with a service, and he or she has already started to do so in these cases. One person who was a part of delivering that service then leaves, for all sorts of appropriate reasons, and, suddenly, that child and the family are left in limbo. They do not know where they stand.

I will ask my fourth question and then I will be done.
