Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My written question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services. In my Member's statement of October 19, 2004, there were a number of concerns raised with regard to patients requiring escorts:
- Can the Minister provide me with information on the number of patients from Nunakput who were denied escorts and why?
- Can the Minister provide me with information on who makes the final decisions for patients requiring escorts?
- Can the Minister provide me with information on the policy for travel of patients who require escorts?
- Can the Minister provide me with information on how the department keeps the families informed when their loved ones are travelling for medical reasons?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
