Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services.
1. What have been the total NWT costs and
volumes by year for the 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10 fiscal years of obstetrical and midwifery services, including:
a. the average number and cost, including
travel expenses and accommodation, of admission days during prenatal, birth and one year postpartum care for those mothers attended by midwives versus those not attended by midwives;
b. the average number and cost, including
travel expenses and accommodation
outside home communities, of admission days during prenatal, birth and one year postpartum care for those mothers attended by midwives and who birth at home versus those not attended by midwives who birth in hospital?
Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
