The reason I raised it is because it appears there is a different interpretation given by different people within individual hospitals. That is why I want each hospital to issue its own statement.
Returning to the treatment purchase fund, I find it disturbing that someone can come in under the treatment abroad fund and get treatment. While I acknowledge they have to pay in advance and are refunded, the same opening is not there for someone to go on the treatment purchase fund. As a result, people are going out of the country although the treatment is available in this country. It is something that needs to be looked at.
