Madam Speaker, a child would make, hopefully, continued visits to a nursing station with the initiative of the parents. Or, if a teacher is aware, they would probably talk to the parents and they would, in turn, approach a nursing station to establish the extent of the requirements. Depending on the situation or the individual need, this would be referred to a medical professional, a doctor. Whether it would be a touring doctor would depend on the circumstances. Or, they would be referred to a regional centre and these assessments would be made. These referrals would take place according to need. Thank you.

Madam Speaker, if any individual patient is determined to need further care, it is the responsibility of the professional people handling that individual to continue to refer that patient, as the need is identified. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Madam Speaker, regarding the referrals for health care matters, communities have health centres. Health centres have a certain degree of expertise, supplemented by visiting medical doctors. If the care cannot be given at that level, they refer it on. All the communities, except for three very small communities, have a health centre. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you. Madam Speaker, again to the Premier, are there any differences in access to treatment, depending on the child's ethnicity at age of diagnosis. Let me just rephrase the question. Is there any difference in treatment depending on whether the child is native or non-native?

Madam Speaker, once a certain condition has been identified, in terms of treatment, according to whatever is required for that individual patient...Once a treatment is identified, there would not be any differentiation. The only differentiation would be who pays for it. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
