We were advised that the only thing he could not do was on-call duty. Everything else, he could do. In respect of the numbers in the clinics, those other clinics were longer than our normal clinics because they had lots of room to themselves. The patients who were taken off the list were probably less complex because they were at the end. Inevitably, they could be seen quickly. The original clinics were supposed to be off site because of Covid-19 and the restrictions in our hospitals at the time. That meant the patients that could be called did not need to have X-rays and could not have phlebotomies or laboratory work. That restricted the types of work we could do and numbers of patients we could see. There are circumstances around here-----
