Thank you, Madam Chair. The future long-term goal of the health structure, if we’re talking about structure as in personnel, physician services, other health services in the territory, we are hoping that we have a system that is where we have physicians that are available equally to all residents of the Northwest Territories. That’s ultimately our objective.

Now, we’re probably going to have a lot of difficulty providing medical services, as in physician services, on a full-time basis to all communities. That’s going to be something that we’re probably never going to achieve, and that is because of the lower populations in some of the communities. But we will use the Integrated Service Delivery Model to determine what type of service has to be on the ground in which community.

In order for us to do that, we need to look at the governance, and the governance of how we utilize the physicians in the Northwest Territories. The objective, again, is to try to provide physicians as close to the people as possible. That, at the end of the day, is going to save on things like medical travel.

Right now, our work has netted us some results, and we know that there are five new doctors in Inuvik, two new doctors in Fort Smith, and we’re continuing to work with the NWT Medical Association to do something about providing doctors into Hay River. In Hay River, it is an opportune time now, with a new health centre being built there. We are working with the new president of the NWT Medical Association to talk about putting, perhaps, some residents into Hay River that would be Hay River doctors. Whether they lived in Hay River or Yellowknife, that would be determined.

Essentially, at the end of the day, we hope to have a pool of territorial doctors, whether they be in Fort Smith, Norman Wells, Inuvik, Hay River or Yellowknife. An example is of the two doctors in Fort Smith, one of them comes to the Stanton Hospital and works here on a regular basis as well. We are not necessarily always saying that we’re going to put all the doctors here and they’re going to work everywhere else. It could be a variety of ways that we would look at providing physician services to communities. That being one of the key changes that I see in the future for the Territories, that we’re going to be able to provide physician services regionally that will go out to the communities on a scheduled basis, based on the Integrated Service Delivery Model. Thank you.
