Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services with respect to my Member’s statement. The provision of consistent, dependable health care to all our communities is a goal of ours and the territorial government’s.

The issue is about Wrigley and its lack of a community nurse, which has been requested ever

since the last time they had that service there, whatever the circumstances were that led to the departure of the nurse at that time. To return a nurse, the case has always been that there has to be safety in place; there has to be community policing.

Over time I have worked hard and got the agreement of the House, and the government agreed to restore community policing to Wrigley. Consequently, that was a very huge step. That was a big win, because that meant Wrigley would get a nurse.

Upon getting that, we went to the Department of Health and Social Services and said: okay; when are we going to put the job out and word out that there’s going to be a community nurse position open for Wrigley? The reply was that there isn’t one.

I’d like to know what possible reason there is for not following through with the provision of this essential service for the community of Wrigley. Mahsi.
