The first thing I would like to comment on is the percentage that you mentioned, Ms. Bennett, the 10 PET scans as opposed to the 40 bone scans. You have to understand that the difference between the number of PET scanners and the number of bone scanners is less than 10%. That means that we do not have the positron capacity to carry out these bone scans.
The second thing concerns what you said about the untenable situation on the ground. Technicians are working 16-hour days and so are secretaries. In the medium and long term, they simply cannot keep up that pace.
I should also point out that isotopes are rather like ice cubes in the sun: they must be used when the sun is not out. That means that we have to use them as soon as we have them, and then they are gone. So often, practically speaking, a week's worth of work is compressed into two or three days.
We need solutions now. I agree with Dr. McEwan that we need medium- and long-term solutions. But the best medium- and long-term solution is to receive an official response about the MAPLE reactors as soon as possible.
