Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there are a number of different avenues that people can pursue if they have concerns about the quality of the care or the quickness of a diagnosis that they have received. It should be stated at the outset that some types of diseases are difficult to diagnosis and some types of cancers, for example, progress at varying rates. It is often hard to tell how long something has been there.

However, if there are concerns, the first place people can go is to lodge a complaint with the boards. All the boards do have complaint processes and procedures in place. There is also the opportunity to raise a concern with the chief medical health officer and ask that a concern be investigated. If there are specific concerns about specific practitioners, both the Northwest Territories Registered Nurses Association and the Northwest Territories Medical Board of Inquiry also have provisions to review complaints by individuals about their treatment. So there are a number of different avenues of opportunity for people to have their specific cases reviewed if they have concerns. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
