That is useful to know. I think there is a problem with local support groups. Although RIA supports the establishment of local support groups, it does not support the work they are doing to provide assistance to asylum seekers. I think that would be important. I was interested to hear what was said about getting medical cards because I know of a number of people who have not got medical cards. In the view of the witnesses, who is responsible for ensuring an asylum seeker gets a medical card?
