Yes, the best practice is the multi-disciplinary approach. Across Canada we have some multi-disciplinary pain clinics. However, the wait list for those clinics can be as much as three to five years and they don't serve enough individuals. So we would be looking to bring the community into play and to have multi-disciplinary treatment and management of chronic pain happening there, as opposed to confining the services to the pain clinics—although we need those too.
