As I stated, we are designing a prototype that would go into, well, Smith is a little different because we’re renovating an existing facility. As I mentioned numerous times, we’re looking at a prototype for Level B-C health centre. That’s what’s going to go into Simpson. Well, that will be a renovation too. The functions that are going to be delivered in these programs are similar. So I don’t think it helps to say we don’t look at it as a region. We look at it as a community, we look at it as a health facility that’s going to serve residents in that area. We also look at these health facilities as part of the whole territorial system.

We want to be able to find or make sure that any services that are currently being delivered at Stanton, if they can be delivered elsewhere, we want to be able to do that there. We’ve already done that in Hay River. We’ve done our scope work there. We need to be focused on using all of our facilities better, because over a number of years a lot of stuff got done at Stanton that could be done elsewhere if properties support it.

The other part of the work that we’re doing is to have the long-term care facilities in all these regional centres. We’re enhancing that service in Smith and we are going to be incorporating that in Hay River. We have enhanced that in Simpson and we will have that in Norman Wells. It’s to serve the community and the surrounding area. I don’t think that anybody is saying that either Smith or Hay River Health Centre will become the regional health centre for the entire South Slave area.
