Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have one written question here for the House.
My question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services with respect to doctor and specialist positions, including their individual current staffing status in the Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority.
Furthermore, my detailed questions are targeting the specific position type, and for guidance as an example, such as oncologist or general practitioner, where each of these positions are located, either at Stanton or elsewhere, and lastly, the expectation is to fully understand the position staffing status, whether it is filled, vacant or anticipated to be vacant specific to a date, how long it has been vacant, and why each position is vacant to the best of the department's ability.
Can the Minister provide in a table format the following information:
- All doctor and specialist positions individually within the NTHSSA, noting which are Northwest Territories-based or locum;
- Specifically where each position is located based on their normal working location, which hospital, clinic or otherwise;
- Each position's current staffing status, whether it is staffed, vacant, scheduled or anticipated to be vacant;
- If a position is vacant, how long each position has been vacant, and why each position has not been filled; and,
- For all positions, whether each position is full-time, part-time or otherwise.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
