Thank you very much.
It was a pleasure listening to all of you. As I've said to a number of other witnesses, this is reinforcing some assumptions I've had.
My background is in clinical medicine. I've been an emergency physician for 20 years. I see the effects on those who cannot afford their medications, because the poorest people appear to use emergency departments for their primary care. We often have to resort to creative workarounds, such as writing an order on the chart for one month's worth of insulin and giving it to them, these sorts of things.
I can put this question to anyone on the panel who practises clinically.
What documented evidence do we have that our current pharmacare system is actually impacting the ability of physicians to provide care?
