Virginia Board of Health, I am writing to encourage you to make evidence based decisions in your consideration of changes to the TRAP regulations. It is hard to see how number of parking spaces or type of water fountain have a meaningful impact on patient safety, particularly when weighed against the negative impact of less access to health care. I am also writing to suggest you consider whether applying these types of regulations to ALL health care facilities (e.g. oral surgeons or dermatologists perfoming procedures in their offices) would pass the common sense test. If not, then it would seem these regulations have little to do with health. Thank you for your time and careful consideration.
