You are not exactly in the country either. Regarding the distribution of psychologists and how that will work, as part of the mental health package we will provide $51.7 million for mental health services in rural and remote areas. We anticipate that some of that money will be used to ensure that mental health nurses coming on stream are placed in rural and remote areas and that the changes to the way psychologists are treated are rolled out in rural and remote areas.
