    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to air my views on this topic. The first question we must ask is why individuals are referred, and there are many reasons. The first compounding factor is the nature of the patient's illness or problem. It must be a severe condition that the referring physician cannot treat. He should acknowledge that he cannot treat the patient because he lacks the necessary equipment, machines, or medications. If we subject that patient to bureaucracy prior to transfer, we would be adding to the patient's difficulties. I believe it is crucial that if someone needs to prolong his life, he or she should be given the chance to do so, and that his doctor should also be given the chance to take immediate action. I have never heard of a case in which a patient has died because he was referred. However, I am aware of instances where patients have died because they were not given adequate medical care due to the treating institution's lack of capacity. Reasons are there for transfer. Unless this amendment is going to improve the treatment of the patient in terms of quality and time, I will not support this Bill. But if it can prove that the patient is going to benefit from these amendments, I will support it. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
