Written Question 45-15(3): Youth Treatment Programs

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My written questions are to the Minister of Health and Social Services.

How many NWT youth are in treatment?

How many spaces in total are available in the NWT for treatment of youth?

How many NWT youth are waiting for placement in treatment?

What programs specifically targeted at youth, apart from residential treatment, are currently in place?

Would the Minister and the Department of Health and Social Services support the establishment of additional treatment programming for youth in existing infrastructure in the NWT?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
