Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Diabetes is obviously a huge problem here in the Northwest Territories, and we’re trying to support communities and individuals to live healthy lives so that they don’t become type 2 diabetic or type 2 diabetes. We have put in new type 2 diabetes screening and diagnosis clinical practice guidelines, which have been approved and disseminated to all of the health providers, all the health centres throughout the Northwest Territories so that our nurses have the tools they need.

We do provide the types of programs that the Member is talking about. Sometimes people have to fly into places like Hay River or Yellowknife to get them, but we do provide that and we’re always looking for ways to push additional services out to communities and we do have professionals who travel to the communities from time to time, but some of them aren’t available in every community. Sometimes people do have to come to the centres for those services. Thank you.
