Following up again on Mr. Ruimy's question on sickness, some communities struggle with doctors. In my community, I know that it is very common to sometimes wait six weeks for a doctor's appointment. If we're telling parents who have just lost a child that they need a doctor's note in order to prove that they are unable to go back to work and that they need it to access sickness leave, is it a little unacceptable to have a delay of up to six weeks or a gap of that length in accessing benefits?
