Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Health and Social Services regarding the reorganization/amalgamation of the departments. Has the amalgamation of the departments of Health and Social Services been completed at the headquarters level?

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Will the Minister then be tabling the revised organizational charts of the restructured departments, which would include the names of the incumbents in each position at headquarters level?

Thank you. As a result of the amalgamation of the departments, what has been the impact on the numbers of PYs within the joint departments? Have the overall numbers increased or decreased?

I understand that the next stage in the amalgamation of the departments is going to happen at regional and community levels. Can the Minister advise us what the amalgamation of these departments are at the regional levels?

Mr. Speaker, at this point in time, we are working with the regions. There have been several workshops that brought in the health boards, superintendents and the more prominent positions within Health and Social Services. We have had two or three workshops. I also attended the regional health board meetings, where we have had discussions, with the attendance of superintendents, social workers and the Social Services department to look at a strategy where we can work on putting together resources from the Department of Health and from the Department of Social Services. We haven't had the opportunity to talk to the specific groupings of people in some areas. We hope that over the next few months we will be able to deal more directly with the people who will be affected and we will be able to make those changes in a smooth and effective manner. Thank you.
