Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I don't have that level of detail of the process. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member is correct. When you're an inpatient, it is a paper file; however, in primary care there are some forms of -- with this tool, it would be uploaded as the information goes into the EMR. However, many of our specialty reports that come back are paper and they're uploaded into EMR so that way it's accessible throughout the EMR. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Oh, sorry. With this -- I am just passionate; I used to be an advanced foot care nurse, so. And I believe that, you know, it does take an analysis, and so what I will commit to is bringing this back to NTHSSA. Within NTHSSA, we do have a territorial director of home and community care, and branch out. Because we do have a professional development PDI for our healthcare providers, and maybe we need to find and bring some opportunities, especially for our small communities. So I will commit to bringing that back to NTHSSA to be able to work towards making sure there's training available for our...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again, as I mentioned, in our small communities we oversee -- you know, there's acute care. So that would be your community -- like, seeing the community health nurse. If they're seeing home support, home support, they can, you know, ensure that the home support workers know that, you know, if they're part of the home care team, they would know if they're diabetic and have these issues. However, diabetic foot care is an advanced practice and so there is training for this. What I can do is I can take this back to NTHSSA and say how much training and is there gaps in all...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, according to the data that we have is since November 2025, there are ten reports, incidences, and before that, prior to that, for the two-year period before, there were 23 reported incidents. However, I know -- I do hear the Member. I know that there has been implementation. I know in our emergency room, here in Stanton, does have a secure area where staff are behind and we do have implemented increase in security. The security guards even have improved puncture-proof body vests for security. And these are things that have been raised with this working...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, at Stanton Territorial Hospital, the workplace violence prevention strategy was implemented and within the time that this has been implemented, there has been assessments done. There are established monthly meetings with RCMP, working with Dexterra contractors on dealing with aggressive and potentially violent patients, education with staff, ensuring staff have access to safe room space, provisions of escorts out to the parking lot. They do meet regularly, and there are some statistics that have shown improvement over the time that they've established this...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there are many physicians who have left the territory and do return back and are locums. There are many physicians that are currently employed here in the territory that do not work full-time. And, you know, this is a conversation I just had today, actually, with my staff on looking at models, you know, within how to -- like, within our entire system, the workforce has changed. We have to be able to adapt. People want a work-life balance and that doesn't mean -- you know, in some sense that means, you know, they have family in the south and, you know, they...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With those questions coming at this time, I don't have that direct information on the floor, as doctor levels, staffing levels change all the time. And so what I've updated the Members in some of the written questions that recently were reported could have changed today, so I don't have that level of information here today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that is very detailed information that I don't have here available. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sometimes when third parties come in and they make recommendations, it's not necessarily easy to implement those recommendations. And also working within some of the recommendations that were suggested, there were many options and many of the options were to remain status quo. We know that status quo is not the option to do. So what we are taking into account are the recommendations that have been suggested but also working within our system to see where are there other areas that can change as well as structurally. And one of the parts that we are continuing to work on...
