§ Mrs. HartI have agreed to provide from aid funds a British aircraft for use by the African Medical and Research Foundation for its Flying Doctor scheme in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Sudan. My Department will also be financing a study into the cost and benefits of differing methods of providing mobile medical services in Botswana. This will both help the Botswana Government to decide their future policy and also contribute to the general pool of knowledge on the efficacy of, inter alia, flying doctor services.
