We noted it because we think it's worth examining. A number of doctors are working on policy development, for example. They spend all their time on administration. That doesn't necessarily mean that they work with patients for one part of their time and do administrative duties for another. I also think it's up to the department to review that percentage, in view of the shortage of doctors and of what it would cost to hire doctors on a contract basis to provide services to military members.
