Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to table the following document entitled, Recruitment and Retention of Health and Social Services Professionals, A Plan to Address Critical Needs. This document was developed jointly by the Department of Health and Social Services and boards, the NWT Health Care Association, NWT Medical Association and the NWT Registered Nurses' Association. The plan has three components creating a stable workforce, increasing the competencies of staff and developing a northern workforce.
Mr. Speaker, this plan will begin to address the immediate and critical concerns about the recruitment and retention of health and social services professionals. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
