Summary: 
A series of questions (presumably proposed by the funder, the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, through the Sharon Martin Community Health Initiative Fund), addressing the impact of proposed financial cut-backs and the foreseen impacts on the project. The Community Health Advocate Project, according to the Vancouver Women's Health Collective (VWHC), would not likely survive if funding were eliminated. The questions also address contributions made to the way in which health care is provided, and perceived ways that the project "keep[s] people out of the formal health care system and save[s] health care dollars."
