Petition 1-15(5): Specialist Surgical Services Located In The Inuvik Hospital

Member Default

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to present a petition dealing with the matter of specialists surgical services located in Inuvik Hospital. Mr. Speaker, this petition contains 794 signatures of Beaufort-Delta residents and, Mr. Speaker, the petitioners request that the Minister of Health and Social Services confirm through a ministerial directive stating that the Beaufort-Delta Health and Social Services Authority has the authority to staff specialists who are necessary for surgical service and salary and benefit level for a specialist, including general practitioners with special training, surgeons, obstetricians, anaesthesiologists, nurse practitioners and registered nurses. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
