Some of that is best practice, and even in some cases that is going to be simpler to operate, even from an administrative point of view. One does not need somebody at the end of a phone; they can literally have a system. That is the wider question, when we talk about assessment therapies and whatever. If we could actually get the right people into the room from the point of view of saying, "What can we offer today?", then we can work towards filling all the positions we need filled. Then obviously, as necessary, the management systems can be iteratively changed, because nobody sets a perfect plan in place straight away.
