Certainly the Member is correct, and one of the issues is regional outreach. But for times when we have to have surge capacity or when we have a population requiring certain diagnostics, then the beds and the services are quite specific. We also know that we’ve had greater luck in keeping and retaining the specialists. It’s also close to Stanton when you have to have mobile teams. A bed is a bed right now.

As Alberta is really full and Stanton these days is often close to capacity, a bed is a bed. If we can do a procedure somewhere else or move somebody temporarily, we will have to do that. It’s centralized bed management we have to move to.

We also have a population south of the lake that while we have high diabetes everywhere, the dialysis use is high, and it may be an hour and a half drive between the facilities, but we need to expand dialysis to Fort Smith. If you’re doing dialysis three times a week and looking at that kind of drive, that’s quite significant. We know we will have to bring some patients in. Certainly, we’ve already done that. When we had a greater wait-list on mammograms and colonoscopies, we used Hay River to take from different places besides their close region. That’s the flexibility we have to build into this system.
