Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the medical travel component of the budgets for medical patients was transferred to the boards and by the same token they had the flexibility to design policies around medical travel. Generally speaking, Mr. Chairman, we undertook when we first initiated some of our health and social service reforms, we
undertook to basically eliminate the funding for escorts unless they were escorts for minors, of course, who are not of legal age to make decisions about their own treatment. We have given some flexibility to the boards, but our priority has been on funding medical travel for the patients so they can obtain the treatment they require, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
