Question 37-16(2) Health Care Services in the Mackenzie Delta

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a written question directed to the Minister of Health and Social Services. The Mackenzie Delta riding that I represent undergoes a wide variety of medevacs. We have patients travelling for medical appointments.

What is the amount spent on medevac services and patient travel for Mackenzie Delta?

What is the total cost of nursing, mental health, dental, health representative and home care services in the Mackenzie Delta?

What is the cost to operate and maintain health services in Mackenzie Delta communities, and what are the overall O & M costs for each of the health care facilities in Mackenzie Delta?
