Bill Braden Great Slave
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In this particular area, and we see that the titles or the specific programs are almost duplicated in the following section on that page under program delivery, there are substantial amounts allocated, Mr. Chairman, to a number of different areas in support of the action plan, the Health and Social Services Action Plan, 2002-2005. Those areas include actions to improve services to people, supports to staff, system-wide management, supports to trustees, and a communications plan. All of this totaling just over $600,000, Mr. Chairman.
In looking at these titles, it does not give us a lot of detail here on just where that money is going to actually be spent to make a difference for people on the receiving end of the health care system. It identifies, for instance, supports to staff, $130,000; actions to improve system-wide management, $195,000; and supports to trustees, $108,000. We are roughly in the sort of $400,000 neighbourhood here, Mr. Chairman. That supports staff and bureaucracy and our management systems, out of $600,000. It seems to me, Mr. Chairman, that we are still putting a lot of money into our background systems at the expense of people on the front lines, and of patients and clients in our health care system.
I would at least like to ask for a little bit more detail for these four or five areas. Could the Minister help me out with some justifications as to why we are putting, at least from what I see in here, Mr. Chairman, about two-thirds of this big allocation into management and bureaucracy? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, I would like to refer that question on detail of this to the Minister of Health and Social Services. Thank you.
