I’d just like to reiterate that currently all the beds are being filled to capacity. Last month they had two individuals here at the hospital in Yellowknife. They were elderly, they could not be returned to Fort Simpson because there was no bed space in the long-term care facility. It’s just another example that our beds are being used and I would like to urge the Minister to work with the Deh Cho Health and Social Services to institute a needs assessment and I believe that needs assessment will show that we definitely need

an expansion of the facility. So, Mr. Speaker, I’d like to ask the Minister to work with Deh Cho Health and Services to begin a needs assessment, because I don’t believe that our community and my region can wait 20 years. Thank you.
