Mr. Speaker, I have a return to oral question, asked by Mr. Antoine on March 30, 1993, regarding the SCOF recommendations on key result indicators.
Mr. Speaker, on March 30, 1993, the chairman of the Standing Committee on Finance asked me which of the health statistics and data requested by SCOF during its review of the 1992-93 budget were available.
A package containing the Department of Health's responses to requests is en route to the Standing Committee on Finance. The health statistics provided include, but are not limited to, the following:
1)mortality and sickness statistics and trends;
2)local employment in health care;
3)health cost containment; and,
4)health facility utilization.
There are some outstanding issues that require further clarification or extensive background information and these items will be forwarded to the Standing Committee on Finance as soon as possible. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
