    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to respond to the debate on the Health (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.42 of 2022). This Bill seeks to compel the Ministry of Health and health facilities to develop a referral system that will ensure that a person who has been referred to another facility for treatment is admitted seamlessly. Patients’ files should be sent electronically to the facilities where the patients are being referred. So, upon arrival, not even a single minute of the patient’s time should be wasted because it is a case that must be attended to immediately. The Bill also requires that hospitals that are referring patient must continue to attend to such patients until they reach the facility where they are being referred to. We have situations in this country where upon a patient being referred, the hospital of origin no longer attends to the patient. One becomes helpless because no one takes care of him. The file is closed. We The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
