The facilities are fine. The main problem is access to treatments. The other problem is with people who live in the regions; that's a major issue. People need to be able to actually go and get health care, ask for help, and we must be in a position to provide the best of services possible.
That's why I refer to a balance between high specialized services, the public network services and those offered by community providers. It's about working together. Part of our clinics' mandate is to work hand-in-hand with people in the community so that they can be supported in the work they do.
Take the example of a client from Abitibi seen at Sainte-Anne's hospital who then returns home. When this person re-enters the community after six months of treatment, we want to make sure the general practitioner or the psychologist in Abitibi is able to contact our specialists to discuss the treatment program. This collaborative approach between the various stakeholders is extremely important, much more than the facilities themselves.
