It’s my understanding that Level A is a health station with no nurse. It’s my understanding that a Level B is a community health centre, which does have nurses but is more specific to providing services in that community. It’s my understanding that a Level B-C facility is a regional health and social services centre, which does have regional outreach responsibility to Level A and B communities. It’s my understanding that a Level C is also a regional health and social services centre but with a greater degree of diagnostic capabilities and some additional services, which is, I think, the point that my colleague Mr. Ramsay was trying to get at, is when you look at a map, you’ve got only two Level C facilities in the Northwest Territories and they’re both in the South Slave. In fact, they’re right next door to each other. If you think about regional outreach, which is what I understand a Level C is supposed to have, clearly Hay River is going to get outreach from Fort Res and Hay River Reserve and Enterprise and Kakisa, but I’m not sure what regional outreach Fort Smith is going to get. So we spent all this money renovating and fixing this facility in Fort Smith, adding some additional capacity, and I’m hearing you talk about additional capacity, but by the definition provided by the department, it must have regional outreach to be a Level C facility. So if there’s no regional responsibility for this particular health centre, I’m curious why we have two Level C facilities.
I hear the deputy minister saying, oh, well, we’re going to add all these services. Who are the clients? Where are the clients coming from? Are they coming from all over the Northwest Territories? Is this going to be a place where we can bring people from anywhere in the Northwest Territories to? Can we bring somebody from Fort Res here? Can we bring somebody from Deline here? Can we bring somebody from Paulatuk here for the services that are apparently being expanded in Fort Smith? How do we justify two Level C facilities right next door to each other? That’s, I think, the point that my colleague Mr. Ramsay was trying to get at, and I didn’t really hear an answer as to the justification for two Level C facilities next door to each other.
