Thank you. The Minister had mentioned the wait times and wait time standards, per se. We don’t have such standards. That seems odd to me and a slippery slope. If we don’t have
standards, of course we’re going to continue to allow those to slip and slide without correcting them, and obviously they need correcting. So I’m hoping the Minister will actually put those standards in place so we can prevent that.
I’ve repeatedly asked the Minister to say whether analysis is being completed on the increased cost of administering a co-payment system, and this information has never been supplied. I’ve spoken about, in my statement earlier today, the four in a row fumbles and rebounds of my constituent’s prescription cost claims to Inuvik, which could be a prophecy of what lies ahead. I’ll ask again, has the Minister completed analysis of what the increased administrative costs will be? And since she has not met with the Pharmaceutical Association and others, how can she know what key burdens this will place on our front-line providers who have a bottom line to meet? Thank you.
