Thank you, Mr. Chair. As far as time frames are concerned, a number of the items that the deputy described are actually well in progress. Some of them have actually been concluded and others are going to take a bit more time. I will get the department to put together some estimates on timelines for the ones that are outstanding but also articulate which ones have already been done and which ones are currently in progress. I will get that to the Members as soon as I can.

The Stanton diabetes education program had a territorial focus and it was delivered in Stanton. The program did some visiting to communities and provided some other clinics. In 2011 the decision was made to transition the program to Yellowknife Health and Social Services as the work was more consistent with the primary care approach. In 2012-13 the Yellowknife Primary Care Clinic implemented some drop-in clinics around this particular area, and diabetes education programs provide services such as workshops. They do drop-in clinics. They do scheduled appointments. They provide some cooking workshops as well as fitness sessions in Yellowknife. Client services include foot care, which I know is a very popular program, as well as some motivational counselling to individuals who happen to have diabetes. The program is run by a team that includes an internist from Stanton, a primary care physician, an NP and an LPN and a dietitian. The program for Yellowknife is still there. It’s at Yellowknife instead of Stanton.
