Many but not all people with addictions have comorbidities, they also have mental health or other issues, so we are including that group. There is also the difference between those that have manageable mental health issues, manageable meaning can be dealt with in the community, or those with severe psychiatric issues. So most of this review is connected to community

mental health and addictions, but it is dovetailing with the work we are doing on our psychiatric intake and psychiatric management of patients at both Stanton and the Beaufort-Delta in the hospitals. It is also building on the fact that we do now have, finally, two psychiatrists, and while they are still on a locum contract, we are working to get them to be full time or permanent here, because that has been significant.

You had mentioned earlier about the issue of policies around release. This is very complicated because it also dovetails with issues around release of corrections. When you get a core group, it is not very large, it is significant as to how to manage them, and the actual cycle between justice facilities, both federal, by the way and not just territorial, and in-patient, and can be quite problematic in our hospital settings. Also on release of patients we have human rights and issues around how that happens, so we are dealing with some of that with our look at the psychiatric not covered here, but as they come together this will be dovetailed. I have raised the issue with the deputy minister of Justice that we need to look at some of this cycle between a correctional facility and not just in the Territories, RCMP holding and hospital-based, because it is a core group not unique to here and very difficult to manage.
