Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Let me be clear right up front. I am not speaking only about the intensive care unit. This is a broad question.
Mr. Speaker, we have been hearing from health care workers, from doctors to nurses to physical therapists, that there is a real problem. Part of the problem is workload. I hear from constituents that they cannot get in to see a physiotherapist, for instance, for more than six months.
The Minister on Thursday, in answer to a question I asked, mentioned that Stanton had a surplus in their budget this year. Will he direct Stanton to consider using part of that surplus, or all of that surplus, to try to increase the staffing for some of the specialities where they are running with one instead of what are supposed to be three-person departments? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
