Thank you, Madam Speaker. The situation in Simpson is quite bad, I think, because the people who go for appointments with the doctors, even though this community has only a population of 1,000, are asked to wait for a week or even more before their appointment is confirmed with the doctor. The problem here is that I think the doctor has too much to do alone. So there might be a reason here to have more than one doctor in the community. I think this has been relayed to the department, through the doctors. However, the health board members, who are appointed by the government, are not responding to the requests from the people of the communities for the physicians, because there are no community people involved. I think the problem there is with your health administration, rather than with the people and the doctors. I would like to ask the Minister if she would look into this situation with the administration of the Mackenzie Regional Health Board. Thank you.
