Right now, people who must travel a long distance for medical appointments or care, must submit a claim for a portion of their travel and hotel costs.

Health Minister Lela Evans indicated that changes are coming to the MTAP in response to a question from the opposition’s Lisa Dempster.

Evans says government is planning 100 per cent coverage for those who must avail of the MTAP program.
