Written Question 48-15(3): Policies On Escorts For Medical Travel

Member Default

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My written question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services. In my Member’s statement of October 19, 2004, there were a number of concerns raised with regard to patients requiring escorts:

Can the Minister provide me with information on the number of patients from Nunakput who were denied escorts and why?

Can the Minister provide me with information on who makes the final decisions for patients requiring escorts?

Can the Minister provide me with information on the policy for travel of patients who require escorts?

Can the Minister provide me with information on how the department keeps the families informed when their loved ones are travelling for medical reasons?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
