Madam Chair, most of the time, it is not necessarily a question of money, but rather, of systems management and practices.
Consider, for example, the supply system in Afghanistan. When parts, inventory and material arrive in Kandahar, a manual system is used. A total of 85 tonnes of material are shipped each week. As you can appreciate, it is very difficult to keep track of everything with a manual system. The last time inventory was taken, $7 million worth of material could not be accounted for. However, additional material not on the list and valued at $6.6 million was found.
The systems would benefit from some additional funding, but it's really boils down to management practices. Agreements need to be worked out with the provinces respecting infectious diseases surveillance systems. Roles and responsibilities need to be clearly defined in the event of a disease outbreak: what data must be shared, with whom and when?There could be some financial implications, but I do not think funding is a problem in this case.
