MOTION 2-16(5): ADULT DIAGNOSIS OF FETAL ALCOHOL SPECTRUM DISORDER

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Wednesday, March 3, 2010, I will move the following motion: now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Tu Nedhe, that the Government of the Northwest Territories establish assessment services for adults who have FASD; and further, that a multidisciplinary team based on the examples of the Territorial Assessment Team or the Child Development Team at Stanton Territorial Hospital be developed to provide these assessment and diagnostic services in the NWT; and furthermore, that programs and supports for individuals and families living with FASD be enhanced to be available to NWT residents who need these services; and furthermore, that the government provide a response to this motion within 120 days. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
