Yeah, thanks for that. Yeah, I would really encourage that because I think if there's -- I know that there's reporting that goes off to the Canadian Institute of Health Research and some other places. But if there was a centralized web page on DHSS or Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority with wait times then people, when they call for a service, they'd at least kind of have some sense as to how long the wait time might be to actually get called in. So I would really encourage that we report that ourselves somewhere on a user-friendly dashboard.
I want to just go back to the sustainability office that the Minister mentioned earlier. Is it fully staffed and what, if any, sort of main areas for costs savings have they identified? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Some of those timelines are yet to be determined. However, for example, for the rehab as an example, we are finalizing our standards and then coming from that, we would envision an opportunity to see that available to the public in the format of a dashboard to be determined. So that is the work to come.

Thanks, Madam Chair. And thanks for that. Yeah, I think the public would definitely be interested in that. Is that something that will happen in this upcoming year then, 2023-2024? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. There is no dashboard available that is equivalent to the kind that was maintained during COVID. But there is interest in launching one. Thank you.

Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. I don't want to dig us into a bunch of different holes here. But is there -- what about a dashboard? We had the COVID dashboard, you know, during the pandemic where people could easily find data on their communities and so on - vaccination levels, incidents, all that kind of stuff. Do we have anything like that for wait times? And if not, is that something we're looking at or going to do? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. We do also report some of our wait times, I believe, in our annual report as well as in the health authority annual report. I can give you some -- a variety of wait times. I'm just not sure whether he has -- the Member has specific questions about a specific area. But if he wishes, I can go through and provide a variety of summaries. There's a whole suite of wait times that we report on including long-term care, community counselling, home and community care, our rehab services. Those are the large tranches of the areas in which we report on.
