Mr. Chairman in regards to, as Members know, we have an issue about services and programs, but when you try to pinpoint where the deficit is occurring from and what is the cost driver which is causing these deficits, I think it seems to be like pulling teeth. No one seems to be really pinpointing where the problem is and they sort of throw a buckshot scatter across the board, where they try to name everything from medical travel to late invoices. It seems like it is not really a system that works to actually pinpoint where the forced growth areas are, where the underfunded programs are occurring, where the cost of health care services...I mean, in most cases you can see what your cost drivers are at the front end, by having good accounting so that you can actually pinpoint where that problem is. But in the case of the Beaufort-Delta, we know that you have so many vacancies, but I just can’t get where you end up with 20-some vacancies but yet you are still running a deficit. I think that without that I would just like to know what is this government going to do differently so that we can fix that problem and be able to get a spreadsheet, if we need, on the spot to identify where these cost drivers are so we can say this is what is causing the deficit, this is what is causing the lack of service delivery.

I know that the capacity issue is a problem in the North, but I know we just have a new Collective Agreement, so hopefully we will see an improvement in that area. So by doing these types of things it will hopefully deal with the problems. I would just like to ask the Minister what exactly is the department going to do differently to ensure that we have financial response and accountability from our health boards to be able to stipulate why we are running a deficit and, if so, where is that deficit occurring. Thank you.
