Question 39-16(2) Cost of Child and Family Services in Mackenzie Delta Communities

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a written question in regard to the cost of child and family services in Mackenzie Delta communities. My question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services:

How many children from the Mackenzie Delta communities are receiving services through Child and Family Services, Department of Health and Social Services?

Please provide the monthly costs to administer voluntary support services and agreements, plan of care agreements and child apprehensions per child in the Mackenzie Delta constituency under the following situations:

care in the parental home;

care through extended family;

foster care; and

treatment from a facility in southern Canada

What steps are taken when a child turns of age and is released from the care of Health and Social Services?

What type of planning and support is provided in these children upon their release from care?

What follow up measures does the Department of Health and Social Services undertake to track these children/young adults over time?

Speaker: Mr. Speaker

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Item 9, returns to written questions. Item 10, replies to opening address. Item 11, petitions. Item 12, reports of standing and special committees. Item 13, reports of committees on the review of bills. The honourable Member for Tu Nedhe, Mr. Beaulieu.
