Is this a replacement of product that we have in terms of system or is this a brand new technology to the Territories?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’ll be tabling the Stanton Territorial Hospital general referral form for occupational therapy, for physiotherapy, which clearly shows urgent outpatient client status.

Thank you. Consistency of delivering health care across the North is paramount. Establishing the proper protocols for priority care is extremely vital.

Would the Minister of Health and Social Services commit to a complete NWT overhaul of the health care delivery in long-term care, extended care programs, which would establish the proper rehabilitation, prioritization tools and using evidence-based testing means? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Earlier today I spoke of the story of Allisdair Leishman, as presented in the media, and his apparent lack of physiotherapy care. Can the Minister of Health and Social Services verify that long-term care patients in general received, indeed, two hours a week and not two hours a month for such care? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It appears that we’re actually moving in the right direction and I appreciate the Minister’s offer, which leads me to my last question. Should the Government Ops standing committee come back to this House and to the Minister with specific revisions, if we’ve done our due diligence with privacy legislation, would the Minister comply with such recommendations?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Minister Lafferty. Moving on to the second round of questioning I have Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Neudorf. Mr. Bromley…(inaudible)…

I appreciate that. I’m going to be looking for my glasses next time for that question. The criteria, which I again hear is on-line, and I’ll definitely make the effort to do so. The concern I have is the fact that in some cases we’ve got departments, like, some of our health authorities are running deficits. In some cases our health authorities aren’t even complying with the financial act by reporting their annual reports on time, yet we’re giving out bonuses in these areas.

Can the Minister indicate to me and the House how it is that we can give out a bonus, when really some of these criteria...

Thank you, Mr. Blake. Mr. Ramsay.
