Thank you, Mr.
Speaker.
Again, in keeping with the idea of prevention, so that we don’t have so many children ending up with this dire need for dental surgery — quite a major intervention, really, to have to get a general anaesthetic and have surgery — how are we doing on the uptake on contracts or positions? I’m not sure if everything is delivered by contract or if there are actual GNWT positions for dental hygienists. How are we doing in terms of vacancy, or uptake on contracts, to deliver these programs in the community? Would encouraging young people to pursue careers in this area to serve the North be something the department is working on?
