Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I've got a couple written questions. And I should say thank you to the clerk's office for their assistance.
Mr. Speaker, the first written question is: Staff Turnover and Vacancy Rates. My questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services:
- What have been the annual turnover rates and vacancy rates for physician specialists, including orthopedic surgeons, in the Northwest Territories since January 2023?
- Please break down the total vacancies by:
- Resignations;
- Retirements; and
- Unknown reason departures.
- Indicate the average time to recruit replacements; and.
- Indicate the number of positions budgeted against those actually filled annually.
