Mr. Speaker, people infected with HIV-AIDS are fighting all the way to the Court of Appeal. Some are dying as a result of not getting drugs that are essential to their survival. In the meantime, surgeons, through the special access program, have no problem getting silicone implants to perform breast enhancement procedures.
How can the Minister of Health explain denied access to drugs that could save lives while there are no limitations on implants that could make thousands of women sick?
