Our patients who come from the Northwest Territories go through our facilities in the Northwest Territories. If we can’t provide that level of service, then they go through to Alberta.
We remain current with our billing. There may be a lag time from time to time, but we realize, for the
more serious nature of health care issues, we are staying current with the Capital Health Authority.
As Members are aware, from time to time we come back to this Assembly requesting supplementary appropriations — for example, in areas of physician services outside the NWT. There is a number of lists of areas that we have come back for in the past when the program has cost more than was originally budgeted for.
