When a public health nurse visits a patient and recommends that he or she needs one hour of care a day seven days a week and that patient receives just half an hour of care five days a week, how far can the public health nurse go in trying to look after that patient? I agree with Mr. Martin that early intervention is important. In recent years I have been reading in the newspapers about various fantastic medications. Can Mr. Martin tell me how good or advanced is the latest medication? What does he recommend?
