Madam Speaker, the start of entry for community needs on any health issue is at the local health centre. A child is brought to the health centre, perhaps with the parents, to take part in the well-baby clinics. If it is established that a child has a requirement for further treatment or assessment, the nurse at the health centre would identify some of the areas and would probably consult with a doctor. In the communities, there are regular trips made by doctors into the communities whereby if the condition is severe or is anticipated to be, then the nurse would have on file that the doctor would have to see these certain children. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
