Mr. Speaker, I have a return to written question asked by Mr. Robert McLeod on May 15, 2007, regarding Beaufort-Delta clients attending school and drug treatment centres.
During 2006-2007, five clients from the Beaufort-Delta region attended southern alcohol and drug treatment centres. Nats'ejee K'eh Treatment Centre reports that 19 clients from the Beaufort-Delta region participated in 442 treatment days. Nats'ejee K'eh Treatment Centre is funded by the Department of Health and Social Services.
The cost of treatment for Beaufort-Delta clients attending these programs was approximately $396,000.
