Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the specialists do travel to the communities, including Hay River, to provide specialty services. As far as redeploying physicians from Yellowknife to serve Hay River on a rotating basis, I do not know. We have just got up to 20 physicians and that is not a full complement for Yellowknife either. I think that those physicians work under contract to the Yellowknife Health and Social Services Board. I do not know if there would be any interest in providing that kind of service in Hay River. It is certainly a question we could ask, but I think that we have just recently alleviated the very serious shortage in Yellowknife as well.
I would say that 20 is not a full complement of physicians here yet. If they had a full complement of physicians, I should say, that may be something that could be posed to them as a question, but right now I do not think that the workforce here would facilitate that. We have to be creative. We have to look at all different kinds of options. The Member mentioned that there are physicians resident in other major communities and the CEO of the Hay River board informs me that it is not a money issue. It is just trying to find a physician that matches the community and certainly there is a shortage Canada-wide, so we are doing our best to address that problem. Thank you.
