Thank you, Madam Chair. I want to just mention the program to renovate Stanton Territorial Health Authority to contain and remediate the mould issue. I’m happy to see that that has gone forward. To me it really is a reflection of the state of that building, that desperate need to do some work on that building, as is the second item regarding the repairs and modifications to the sterilization steam equipment. I hope the Minister sees it as the same, as some flags.
We have postponed and postponed and postponed renovations to Stanton Territorial Hospital. We are beginning to pay the price. Well, we have been paying the price for quite awhile, obviously. But these are some very serious issues that obviously express themselves in the health of our people.
I just wanted to get an update. I see that the issues of sterilization of equipment are ongoing. We are now 13 or 14 months into this issue. We have spent quite a bit on it. I know there have been other expenditures, I believe. Again, the most important aspect of this is the health of our people. I am wondering, first of all, are we caught up in the backlog that has resulted in surgeries as a result of this. I see we still do have an issue; I believe it’s scaled back quite a bit, but we are going after it. Are we postponing surgeries at this time because of the incurrent situation and the need to separate these two types of sterilization? Thank you.
