Thank you. Can the department indicate whether or not we’ve got systems in place to have formal reviews done in supplementary health programs on a frequent basis or is this basically an on-demand request from the department when need be? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Given the limited information and criteria provided today by the Minister of Health and Social Services, it is clear that the public and Members need a better understanding on the role of medical travel in highway and air ambulance situations. Will the Minister of Health and Social Services commit to a proper inquiry of the role of medical travel in situations of highway air ambulance call events, and will the Minister report and table these findings to this House?

Question. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Ms. DeLancey.

I was brought in early on in the infancy stages of the Midwifery Program and was part of the consulting team to put together the legislation for midwifery. I have a very long cardinal relationship with them in terms of understanding their needs and their scope of practice, their ethics and standards that they govern themselves by. They are quite a dynamic group of individuals, and over the years I have been very appreciative, having witnessed going through the process. These people are very, very value-added to our health care system.

It has been talked about in here that we want to look at...

I appreciate the Minister’s response. Can the Minister indicate what protocol or what algorithm of care is used by medical travel to make decisions of highway air ambulance patient extraction, and is this protocol communicated with all levels of NWT first responders such as RCMP and fire departments across the Northwest Territories?

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Ms. Mathison.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Mr. Moses, your time is up. I know you had a second question. If you want, I could put you back on the list. Moving on with questioning I have Ms. Bisaro.
