I thank everybody for coming to the meeting today to give us an understanding of the regional health areas. Regional health areas are extremely welcome. It is very positive. It promises to undo regional health inequalities by creating a central funding model based on population. It is very welcome. Will the provision of services in different RHAs be influenced by available demographic data? For example, an RHA with a younger demographic profile might require more sexual and reproductive healthcare services than an area with an older population. Could the witnesses say a little about that?
