I have had numerous conversations with constituents who have gone through different portions of treatment for addiction within the Northwest Territories and also outside of the Northwest Territories. One thing that has come up multiple times is the issue of every doctor in the territory not being able to refer somebody for an in-patient treatment facility. I am wondering if this is something that Health and Social Services is looking to change so that, regardless of the doctor who somebody sees, they are able to receive a referral for an in-patient facility.
