We had a serious problem with general duty medical officers—family physicians—which hit its low point about 2002, when we were short more than one-third of those. We now believe we'll be back up to full complement in a year to a year and a half. We've done extremely well with recruiting, with a very focused attempt.
We've also done a pretty good job recruiting our specialist physicians as backup. The mission in Afghanistan has actually been a drawing card for us for that. Base people, trauma surgeons, and anaesthesiologists see this as really important, worthwhile work to do, and they want to be part of it. So that's helped our recruiting.
Pharmacists constitute a big hole for us now. But we're doing well on the uniform side.
It's really the public service, and a lot of my health care providers who stay in place are supposed to be public servants. At the moment, they're not; they're contractors, because public service pay scales, quite frankly, aren't sufficient to attract physicians at the moment. I pay a third-party contractor a lot of extra money to fill those holes.
