When this was purposed there could not have possibly been any thought on how this would affect the rural areas in our part of the state. Several of our clients have to attend appointments in localities that are at least an hour away and there is no way a clinician can complete this session in just three hours. Just the drive alone is two hours and we all know too well that the wait for an appointment in the waiting area and after being called back can be several minutes long. I would ask that you please reconsider this and think about the rural areas and how this would affect the services that we provide to our clients.
