Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the Member's statement I made earlier today, my constituents, and most people in the NWT, know that our health system is in a crisis. Yet our leadership appears more interested in doing some damage control in the media than looking inwards to make policy changes to improve patient outcomes.
Mr. Speaker, my first question is health care in small communities require policies to take into account the unique circumstances for primary Indigenous population that have needs defined by race, geographically, and culture.
Will the Minister of Health and Social Services commit to a full policy review to improve patient outcomes and health care protocols in communities health centres and small -- and for small community medical travel within 120 days and report back to the House? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
