I am trying to get a sense of some of the resources mentioned in Mr. Gloster’s opening statement. I do not know if he has all the numbers in front of him. I will throw a few questions out on that issue.

Our meeting in June was one of the first we had when Mr. Gloster was appointed. We talked a little bit about the community healthcare networks, CHNs, and the community specialist teams, CSTs. At the time, 94 of 96 of the CHNs were operational and 47 of 60 of the CSTs. Could we have an update on how many are currently operating and what the staffing levels are like?
