With a certain amount of flexibility, the Department has constructed the parameters that each board must follow in the area of medical travel. We speak of flexibility because circumstances change from time to time throughout the year. Primarily, we establish the territorial standard that speaks to supports for children and the absolute priority on expenditures first, for the person who is in need of support. It speaks to the need to provide for escorts in areas where the normal provision of interpretation services is not available on a specific occasion. Within those areas of flexibility the department has established a standard. Thank you.
