This is around the emergency room which is on page 5. I am just wondering if the Minister has statistics on the number of emergency [room] patients that come into the hospital that could go to a GP. Hon. Kim N. Wilson: Mr. Speaker, I do not have that information in front of me, but I would invite that Honourable …

Certainly, some of the constituents that I listen to consider their medical relationship with the emergency room. And I am just asking the Min-ister whether any initiatives will be put into place to change the culture [to] not wanting to go to the emer-gency room first, as almost a philosophical commitment that patients often have with the emergency room ver-sus …

Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. It might almost be a supplementary, but I know that for 17 years this loan has been in existence. I was just cu-rious if the Minister knows what the interest rates are and what the length of that loan was from its original date of commencement.

It is about the Dr. Cann Park, and the Minister triggered it with the mention of mainte-nance. How exactly does the Ministry provide maintenance support to Dr. Cann Park? Lt. Col. Hon. David A. Burch: Mr. Speaker, we actually do not . . . well, it is ad hoc support that the Ministry will provide. The Trust carries out its …

Yes. The Dr. Cann Park. That is a . . . the buildings are multi -storey. And as we have an increasing ageing population and people are living longer, is the Ministry working with the Housing Trust at all to investigate and maybe review and come up with any way that we might accommodate the fact that there are multi …

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I have been listening to this debate, and I can imagine that those who are out there in our listening public who are also trying to keep up with this debate must be quite confused at this stage. And I just wanted to get to my feet to give a simple explanation of what I …

Except here, as my Honourable Member has just said, is exactly that. We as a country have to accept the fact that in order for us to be able to introduce gaming in Bermuda, we absolutely must leave that commission and the evolution of the gaming propositi on to an independent body. The reason why we are having these goalpost …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My point being that in order for us to actually move gaming forward at this point, we have to acknowledge the fact that we have to play with the banks. And the banks have their own rules of the game. Banks have been put in a situation. And they are not necessarily . . . I …

—where we can present a model. And I understand that the Government is frustrated because the choice of ministerial participation in this is causing us to go in circles. And I heard a previous Minister talk about changing goalposts, et cetera. Maybe it is that we have to find a ministerial position that is completely independent. So if we—
