That didn’t help me trying to get an answer out of the question I just asked. What do you do when they don’t spend the money where it’s supposed to be going instead of just running health centres in communities? If you have a budget that tells someone that line item is to run the hospital in Tsiigehtchic and make sure it’s fully staffed and functional, and that you do have the resources to have people on the ground in those health centres providing front-line services, the same thing can apply to mental health workers, alcohol drug workers and whatnot. Every health authority gets money on behalf of this government to provide those services.
Again I’ll ask the question, what do you do when the services are not being provided, knowing that the capital expenditure has been given and those dollars have not been earmarked for the line item it was approved for? Again this doesn’t help me one bit, realizing there are services that have not been provided. You talked about the mental health services in my community of Fort McPherson. I talked to the Tl’oondih Health Society where they said there is no agreement. There aren’t even any talks with the Inuvik Health Board to try to get people to fill that position. You mentioned something in the House yesterday that they’re working on an agreement. Sorry, but they’re not even talking to each other. So how can you have an agreement?
I’d like to know what you do when health authorities do not provide services in communities where they receive money on behalf of this government.
