    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am really grateful to the hon. Member’s contribution. We are caught between the rock and the hard place. On the one hand, we do realize a need to train more personnel to handle more cases in the medical sector and on the other hand, we do not receive enough budgetary resources to do so. Indeed, just this morning, I was at a spinal injury hospital discussing with the Medical Superintendent the cases of trauma in that hospital and what we can do to improve services to those who are traumatized, including sexual violence victims. We have tried as much as possible to develop a programme with the University of Maryland, so that they can also help us with training gratis. We do hope that when this programme takes off we shall get more people trained in trauma, and sexual violence is one of the trauma cases, so that we can get more in the field. But in the meantime, to give doctors stipend for their work will depend on better budgetary allocation to the Ministry. As you know, from last year to this year, we have not received a single cent for training."
