“It is critical to refer these women to a properly trained facility to obtain the critical investigative information in these cases. The current status for women is that they are already going to and being referred to the medical facilities that can handle these. The reason for the bill was to not require instacares on the wasatch front to handle them. They are not equipped or trained to handle these cases. Also, the 30 mile range was for rural utah. A standard for critical that is the Rural Healthcare Act.”

I still have concerns that a poor victim from rural Utah is forced to travel up to 30 miles to get care.
