Written Question 47-15(3): Housing For Health Care Professionals

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have written questions for the Minister of Health and Social Services, the Honourable Michael Miltenberger, regarding housing for health care professionals.

What is the number of health care professionals per community, currently in need of affordable accommodations?

What is the number of social workers and health care professionals per community, who have not accepted work in small communities because of the lack of affordable housing?

What is the number of health care professionals that currently rent government-owned units and what are the rates of the rent that they pay?

Please provide details about what other jurisdictions in Canada provide housing for nurses and other health care professionals in remote communities.

Thank you.
