I thank the Minister for that. Mr. Speaker, my own experience at my local health centre goes like this: I go in for bloodwork and wait eons. I then make an appointment to see another nurse. This is a totally different nurse. She states that there is no record of any blood being taken, so she takes more blood. I don't hear or have any follow-up notice, so I go in again to see a different nurse. This is a third different nurse in our health centre. She states there is no record of any blood drawn nor anything sent out. At this point, I am just about ready to faint.
I don't believe they take people with diabetes seriously, and this is a serious detriment to providing the best healthcare that the department can provide. In all seriousness, can the Minister have her department follow up with the health centres to determine what process is being implemented once bloodwork has been drawn as these samples have to be sent out for analysis?
