Madam Chair, thank you. I do not know how to pose this to the Minister, seeing as how he is suggesting the board is responsible for setting the guidelines for the visits, but there are many times when the doctor comes to the communities, people miss their appointments for whatever reason and the policy seems to be that if you do not make your appointment, you wait for the next visit. Now this could be normally no less than a month. If you have a health problem, I do not know how a person would address that health problem if he had to wait another month to see a doctor. Is the Minister aware of this policy?
