Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services. I want to ask the Minister of Health and Social Services, are there any updates to the requests for the Deline palliative care bed study that they have been asking for, for some time.
Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. The honourable Minister of Health, Mr. Abernethy.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, there are some updates. In October 2014 we made a commitment to evaluate the palliative care needs in Deline. I do apologize to the Member; the Member asked the question yesterday and my response wasn’t as clear as I had hoped it would be and I added some additional confusion. I do apologize to the Member for the frustration there. But, yes, we are moving forward with palliative care needs in Deline. We do intend to have staff come in in 2015-2016 to visit the community to assess the existing infrastructure and evaluate the applicability. The assessment is necessary to help us better understand what type of resources and potential infrastructure and improvements may be required to have additional palliative support in the community. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Member for Nahendeh, Mr. Menicoche.
