Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Health and Social Services.
- What is the cause of delays in the notification of the affected individuals following the occurrence, detection, and patient notification of the 574 confirmed privacy breaches at the Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority from October 2015-April 2025?
- What legal or policy provisions prevent the NTHSSA from disclosing the job title, department, or region of an employee responsible for an intentional privacy breach?
- Of the 750 plus confirmed privacy breaches in the Northwest Territories health system over the past decade, how many involved repeat offenders?
- How frequently does the NTHSSA conduct proactive or random audits independent of complaints or staffing changes based on their current auditing tool system? And finally,
- What is the completion rate for mandatory annual privacy training across all staff categories in the Northwest Territories, and what metrics are used to assess whether this training effectively reduces unauthorized access to patient information?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
