treatment not available in canada |
|
|
Summary:
While I have no authority to suggest a different legislative approach, it may be necessary to revisit these provisions in order to recognize that treatment is not available in circumstances of remoteness and the ability of a medical facility to treat patients within a reasonable period of time.
Held by the Board that, although treatment is available in Canada, the ideal and appropriate treatment was only available to her in England. Decision overturned. Treatment was available in Canada. It is not within the provisions of s. 54 to have treatment elsewhere when it is available in Canada.
