I again thank the Senator for raising the issue and I have listened carefully to his concerns. As stated in my reply, the Minister is determined that the process will commence as soon as possible. I do not have exact dates for the Senator but I will bring his concerns to the attention of the Minister and ask that the Senator be updated on what is being done to further the process of bringing into being this model of care for those suffering from lymphoedema. I know a number of people in my constituency who suffer from it. I will bring the Senator's concerns to the attention of the Minister and ask that a more comprehensive response be forwarded to him.
