I want to move on to the issue of the use of funding within the task force groups. Obviously, someone who is dealing in this area needs to have expertise. Is a sufficient level of training being provided for people who want to work in this area? I know the real training is the experience but I am referring to basic training. Whether in regard to education or health, outside of the funding for the drugs task forces, is training available for people who want to work and assist in this area?
