Yes, I am seeking the guidance of the Leader on this matter. There is no equity in our health system. These cutbacks represent policy that is penny-wise and pound foolish. Dialysis patients have a transport service but they are regularly late for their clinic visits. The local taximan who provided these patients with a transport service for 28 years has been cut off in terms of the service he provided. He carried three patients at a time for 95 cent an hour.
