Okay, thank you. I'll go to the Member from Range Lake.

And where are they incurring it? If we passed that section, my apologies. I'm just wondering, like, where we can see that represented in these estimates. Thank you.

I'll go to the Minister.

Thank you. I will have the ADM answer that exact question.

Thank you. I'll go to the ADM.

Okay, thank you. Next on my list I have is the Member from Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just wanted to follow up on the question I was starting to ask about detox.

So can the Minister clarify whether the funding that we have for detox, is it all federally funded, or do we put some of our own money into detox services? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. I'll go to the Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, that's all bilateral funding that we received.

Okay, thank you. I'll go to the Member from Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And so how many detox beds are we funded by the feds to offer, or is it -- have we committed to a certain number of beds or a certain amount of services; what exactly have we committed to with that federal funding? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. I'll go to the Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I -- to get into the detail, the way that funding goes for -- so detox would be in hospital and those would be funded positions that would be added -- allocated to -- and I believe it is the -- like, Stanton, and I think in Beaufort Delta -- or Hay River, yes.

Okay, thank you. I'm going to go to the Member from Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. How many operational detox beds do we have -- well, how many detox beds do we have operational at the moment? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. I'll go to the Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the way that this works is that it's at per needs. So if a person is requiring it, now we have extra staff that we can use to dedicate that person to being able to provide detox. And so normally up until now, all of our hospitals did do this in some shape or form. They -- you know, when people were coming in, they were detoxing them. Sometimes there would be admissions when people were needing detox before going to the hospital. But these would never have been funded. So they were always just on top of being an admission into the hospital. And now we have designated funding so that way -- so when people -- when we talk about beds, we're talking about the number of nurses being able to provide that one-on-one care that might need for those residents. And I know over the three-year period, the agreement has 24 FTEs to be added for this initiative. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. I'll go to the Member from Yellowknife North.

Okay, thank you for that clarification. And so is it understood, then, that anyone going to the Stanton Hospital or the Inuvik Hospital that requires detox that it will be available to them if they go in, or have we had examples of where there's more demand than we can actually meet with the current level of staffing and funding that we have? Thank you, Mr. Chair. For detox specifically.

Thank you. I'll go to the Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, and I appreciate the questions from the Member. And I think it is -- it is one of the areas where it's difficult because I think on any given day, you know, if somebody is choosing to want to withdraw, manage, and detox from -- so normally, you'd be -- you know, you may be working with a physician, may be working within -- with counsellors, getting ready for, going to treatment, so a lot of times these may -- they may be, you know, scheduled. It's not necessarily that, you know, people will just show up to emerge and want detox. So it is being able to provide this service when it's part of their plan of care, and I think it's more of a coordinated care. But, again, like I mentioned, it is dedicated funding so that when the time has come, we are able to support that within our facilities. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. I'll go to the Member from Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And can the Minister clarify, for those with alcohol dependency, who may be in the hospital for other reasons, who are not ready or wanting to detox -- I think we had in the past, but do we still currently offer some kind of managed alcohol program to inpatients in the hospital who need, you know, to avoid, you know, withdrawal systems that could be even more harmful to their health? Do we have a managed alcohol program for those patients who are not in a position to detox? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
