A<br />
Q<br />

analogy of it doesn't make sense to provide children with<br />
a, a half a dose of an antibiotic or --<br />

A<br />
Q<br />
Correct.<br />
-- use half measures. Is that something you, you<br />

workers are, you know -- I mean they may not be the only<br />
ones that can provide that but they are important aspects<br />
24<br />
of providing that service.<br />
But there are roles also for<br />
25<br />
other, other staff and workers as well as part of this kind<br />
