Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that the Department of Health and Social Services revise the funding methodology for the regional authorities upon completing the assessment of required resources. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Moses. The motion is in order. To the motion. Mr. Moses.
Thank you, Madam Chair. It was a recommendation that I think came out of the 2000 report, as well, and something that went right back, I think it even mentioned 1977. It talked about requiring financial and human resources for this area with child and family services and nothing has been developed. There has been no caseload standards being developed and we’ve heard in some cases where a certain child protection worker might have had up to 100 cases and some of them might only have a few. So we want to make sure it’s something standardized, caseload management, and that each health authority has the proper financial and human resources to effectively offer quality child and family services to the clients and the families. So this is a recommendation that came out of that. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Moses. To the motion. Minister Abernethy.
Thank you, Madam Chair. We’ve already indicated, and I’d like to indicate again, that we agree with recommendation 23.
