Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not know how to say this because there are a lot of people I know who are disabled, who, never mind walking out the door, but a lot of them have the situation where they cannot go to the health centre. They cannot even go to the store. They are bedridden or they have such a bad case of arthritis or what not, that the whole question of moving and mobility and getting around is a major problem in a lot of our communities. Yet these people call the health centre, they call someone for a particular aspect, they are ridiculed because they are either calling too much -- go get a taxi, find your own way here. I think those are the little things that we may take for granted, but being elderly or disabled, it is not a funny fact of life. It is serious, especially with these disabilities that we will all come to meet some time in the future, with regard to arthritis and other diseases that creep up on you the older you get.
That is where my problem is, and I see that we have to do a thorough review to ensure that everyone's rights are being considered when we deliver programs and services. Not just look at it from a medical side, but look at it from the patient's side to see exactly if they are getting what we are offering, and if we are not offering it, why not? I think it is important that we look at the overall question.
I think that we have to do more with respect to disabilities, especially when we have these programs in the communities, that we do not start cutting these programs out and not replace them with something that is going to do just as well, especially when we are talking about people who are not able to get around or able to access the health centres. They may need people to go from the health centre to serve the needs of these residents. I would like to ask the Minister, will she seriously look at that?
