I would assume that the Minister and the deputy minister, who is here, are much in line that this is a very, very important part of delivering health care to the Northwest Territories. Giving authorities money without having any strings

attached really puts the delivery of patient care at risk, which leads me to my next question.

At the same time the Auditor General took an extensive look at how we deliver our services for diabetes and it was indicated at that time “that the department does not use administrative data to monitor diabetes programming, nor does it systematically collect data on diabetes prevention and treatment results.” With that comment, can we receive some assurances that disease states like diabetes, because this is an Auditor General report that has been in the hands of the department now for some time, have we made strides to deal with the comment that was just read? Thank you.
