Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for that answer. However, I would like to beg your indulgence so that I can give a little background to enable the Assistant Minister understand the reason for asking this Question.

The AFMH was initially set up using funds contributed by the military, the police and the APs. At the moment, the only time the police or the APs get admitted there is when there is an extreme situation or extreme injuries. Otherwise, they are expected to go to the regular public hospitals.

We should understand that when there is a fracas somewhere and the rest of us are running away, the police and the APs head for the trouble spots. They are, therefore, exposed to injuries at any time. I believe that these people should be accorded better healthcare than this. Unfortunately, the AFMH is not registered by the NHIF. Therefore, the police cannot access it using the NHIF and yet they cannot strain the resources of the military by going there for treatment. That is why they are discriminated.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is obvious that the Assistant Minister misunderstood the whole Question. I would like him to realise that air ambulance service is different from helicopters going to pick injured people. That is what he should concentrate on when answering the Question, because we are talking of remote areas.
