questions for the board

[Marfleet11]

Some 'open' questions for anyone standing for positions on the 'board'....please,
..and they're all about medical cover!
1.Where do you place the provision of medical cover in your plans for the future of UKUltimate?
2. Should the provision of medical facilities at an official UKU Tournament have a defined and mandatory level? (are athletes entitled to expect expert medical cover at an official Tournament and could he/she successfully sue if, after paying to enter, he/she was injured as a result of lack of facilities?)
3. What level of medical/sports medicine/physio cover does UKU want at national level. At what point might UKU wish to employ its medical cover (I've never charged, but if Ultimate gets increasingly 'professional' then money will have to enter the equation as the medical support team will almost certainly be taking this sort of job/employment as their primary source of working income)
4. Does UKU at national level want pre-competition medical/fitness screening?
5. Where do you stand on the isue of drugs in sport? Should UKU have plans to incorporate specific rules regarding drugs/drug testing.

Thanks

Paul
