Before we finish, I have just one question. Both organisations referred to issues around senior citizens and so on. It was not touched on in any of the questions but, in community healthcare organisation, CHO, area 7, there is a difficulty in respect of occupational therapists. This is key in releasing people from hospitals, step-down beds and so on. It is about getting those basic services. Does that problem relate to a shortage of occupational therapists? Those in CHO area 7 are telling people to go to the private sector in that regard. Is it a problem across the board or is it just in that specific area?
