Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister what exactly is the government policy for medical travel? Is there any reference on how you deal with people that might misuse the travel, where individuals who are named as an escort travels with the patient and does not assist that individual? For example, making sure that their needs are met in the hospital or even making an attempt to visit them while they are in the hospital. Instead, it becomes a free trip to go on a shopping spree. Some people find they go to a major city and the patient does not see these individuals after they are dropped off at the hospital. Is there anything in the policy that makes sure that is being monitored? Thank you.
