If I may raise another issue of concern with the Department, is any work being done to shorten the turnaround time and waiting lists for emergency medical cards? One person was in contact with us who is waiting quite a number of months now and undergoing intensive cancer treatment. It is outrageous there would be people waiting months for that type of urgent help. What work is being undertaken in the Department to deal with that?
