Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Earlier today the Minister of Health gave us a glowing review on the state of the union of the Department of Health and Social Services. Glowing in a sense that I’m also wondering why we had so many election questions, during our walks, with our constituents in terms of their health and sustainability. That said, I want to point out one section of what was said today in the Minister’s address, “We’re working at better ways to manage chronic diseases like diabetes by giving patients the proper support at the community level and the tools they need to manage their illness.” It was only less than six months ago that the Auditor General’s report gave a rather scathing review on the program development and program support for many disease conditions, one of them being diabetes. My question for the Minister of Health is: Has progress been made since that Auditor General’s report?
