Generally, with communities that have approximately the same types of needs, we build a prototype. A facility in a community of approximately 500 to 1,000 people would generally have the same building built in their communities.

We are actually looking at that. What we are doing with the integrated service delivery model is determining what service is most often needed in each of the communities, going right from the smallest community to the largest community, and what is the most common service that is required. Within that model what we do is determine how much service, how many nurses are needed in each community. Then we have the issue of safety, and within that issue the Canadian Association of Nursing has one criterion, I suppose, in as far as the amount of population that would be needed to accommodate a nurse...

Probably the best term that we could use is a redevelopment of the Stanton Hospital.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The total prior year GNWT investment in the EMR project has been $4.175 million, with continued investment of $250,000 in 2012; $1 million in 2013; $774,000 in 2014; for a total of $6.19 million of capital investment. Also, there will be $2.175 million of the initial $4.175 million occurred in previous EMR investment with $2 million carry-over to the current EMR project. Therefore, the current project budget reflects $8 million total, $2 million carry-over, $250,000 in 2012-13, $1.002 million in 2013-14. Again, the $774,000 in ‘14-15, up to $3.946 million of Infoway...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If we were to station one nurse in Tsiigehtchic, I would assume that just the cost of the salary would be approximately $120,000 with all the benefits and everything, but we would not be able to station just one nurse in Tsiigehtchic.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The plan for the Stanton Hospital is upgrades and renovations.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I’m just going to have the deputy minister, she has the detail on what this money is going to be used for, to do a response.

Mr. Chair, the last cost that we have scheduled in and at which point we expect completion is 2014-15.

Yes, Madam Chair, I do.

Mr. Chair, they are required in the health centres that are in the regional centres, we would likely see one. I don’t have the information. I would likely see one that would be incorporated into probably the health centre in Norman Wells, the health centre/long-term care centre. Also Fort Smith would have one included in the health centre there. The health centre in Hay River, as I indicated earlier, and likely Fort Simpson as well. Again, I don’t have the information on the Fort Simpson one here also.
