In fairness, while there have been different interpretations around the country in terms of medical card qualification, the system has worked quite well within the health board regions. The flexibility has helped in that regard. Though Senator Henry might not agree, the fact that we have had flexibility and that the CEOs could on occasion consider special cases of particular hardship and grant medical cards has proved helpful.
