Mr. Speaker, I have a return to written question asked by Mr. Braden on October 19, 2005, regarding mental health treatment.
The Territorial Treatment Centre and Trailcross provide specialized services for youth in the Northwest Territories. In fiscal year 2004-05, each facility operated eight beds at a cost of $1.160 million and $1.305 million respectively.
Southern residential placements provided specialized services for 27 children in fiscal year 2004-05 at a cost of $1.227 million.
There are four southern programs or institutions that provide specialized services for adults that are not available in the NWT. They are Mental Health (AB Hospital Edmonton), Specialized Mental Health Services, Not Criminally Responsible Clients Programs, and Behavioural/Residential Programs.
In fiscal year 2004-05, 52 adults received one of these services at a total cost of $3.832 million. As of early November 2005, 41 adults were receiving these services at a total cost of $2.125 million.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
