Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Health, Mr. Ng. Today, the Minister talked about the Recruitment and Retention Program and has already answered some questions in this House.
The Minister stated that he is going to put some additional funds in, but the largest thing that I see here in this report is that he has hired an individual, a specialist as he called it, a front line worker, to assist the different health boards with recruitment and retention. I believe some of the questions he has answered has talked more about the retention of employees and also its long-term retention. I am not hearing any immediate concerns addressed for health care professionals as was brought up in this House in the past number of days. Could the Minister address what is being done to address the shortage of health care professionals in some communities, such as Mr. Steen alluded to in this House the last couple of days? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
