Mr. Speaker, there are dollars in the system, but there is also quite a shortage of dollars in a number of areas.

This assembly, the 16th Assembly, has already

dealt with the Stanton fiscal issue as well as the Beaufort-Delta fiscal issue. They’ve transferred block funding on how they make arrangements — their scheduling services and times as well as dealing with agency relief nurses that are needed from time to time in our communities.

There is a challenge there. The Minister has stated on the record in this House that she is going to work from the department side with the Beaufort-Delta Health and Social Services Authority and look at what can be done in ensuring that the level of service is improved for our residents.
