I think the Reverend's proposal is a very good one. We will definitely look into it. As I've said, there is a link between medical factors and social factors. I'm sure that this will actually be considered when the Minister of Human Settlements presents his strategic plan. We no longer want a department of housing where one just puts up houses and leaves. In trying to deal with matters of this kind, one has to put up "human settlements", where there will be clean running water, electricity, tarred roads, schools, clinics, etc.
The House might be aware that a few weeks ago there was a big radio debate about somebody who was denied an organ transplant because, it was said, that particular person was poor. I phoned a professor, who said that the person involved was suffering from severe TB, had only one lung left and never came for treatment. According to the professor, that particular person was disqualified because of that.
Obviously, that individual's TB condition is because of where he or she comes from. The inability to go to the medical centres to comply with treatment is also a social problem. However, because of the fact that the lung was completely damaged, there was no way they could put this person on dialysis. It would have been like sentencing the individual to death. That is why I spoke about dilemmas and ethical dilemmas. Unfortunately, doctors are faced with these problems every day.
