I think, in terms of this, the right to the second medical opinion, I feel that, you know, we possibly could get ourselves in some hot water if we don’t have that right now, in terms of some people not being diagnosed properly or not being diagnosed at all and continue to… Some Members have stated in this House during question period, they go to the health centres and they’re just given some Tylenol to go home when there are bigger concerns. I think the longer we wait, we’re doing a disservice to the residents of the NWT.
As the Minister knows, we do have challenges in securing doctors, physicians and nurses in some of the communities. Is there any way that this Minister can use his ministerial authority to try and see if we can get something up and running, a review specifically for this program in place a lot sooner than later, because I feel that this department and this government could get themselves into some trouble knowing that we’re bringing this up now and discussing it and we’re probably going to see a review maybe in two years or something. Can the Minister use his authority and look at trying to fast-track this right to a second medical opinion?
