Thank you, Mr. Chair. Currently, the communities that don’t actually have permanent nurses, the amount of time that nurses are visiting does vary from community to community based on the level of need and acuity and different things going on in the community, so there is no one number that is actually utilized. Every authority has a slightly different approach.
As I have said to the Member who asked the questions previously, we’re looking at other opportunities. Maybe not a nurse, maybe not an LPN, maybe a high level first responder might be appropriate to be in there on a more permanent basis. But we did learn about other position opportunities in Alaska and we’re exploring those. As we move forward with transition we’ll be in a better position to find some consistency on how we’re supporting the different communities, recognizing that every community in the Northwest Territories has a different degree of need, so we will also have to work with the communities. As I’ve committed, I’m happy to go to communities to meet with leadership and talk about what their specific needs are, what issues they’re trying to address and how working together we can best accomplish those targets.
