Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On March 10th this year, I delivered a Member's statement along with oral and written questions on virtual care in the Northwest Territories. Little did I know, one week later, we would be sent home, and our healthcare system would instantly break down the barriers to delivering virtual care in the Northwest Territories. As a result, I have written questions for the Minister of Health and Social Services on the provision of virtual care in the Northwest Territories.
- What solutions does the Department of Health and Social Services use to satisfy the barriers identified in the virtual care taskforce report, including, but not limited to, interoperability and governance, licensure and quality of care, payment models, and medical education?
- What additional challenges or barriers did the Government of the Northwest Territories encounter through the provision of virtual care?
- How does the Department of Health and Social Services intend to continue providing virtual care to Northwest Territories residents post-pandemic?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
