CARLA BECK’S TEAM TO HOST MOOSE JAW TOWN HALL ON DELIVERING BIG, BOLD CHANGE IN HEALTHCARE

Yesterday’s Your Care, Your Say Interim Report Makes It Clear that People Across Saskatchewan Support Public Health, Optimistic It Can Be Fixed
MOOSE JAW – Tonight, Carla Beck’s team will be hosting a town hall in Moose Jaw to talk about their roadmap for big, bold change in healthcare as part of the Your Care, Your Say project.

Over the last several months, Beck’s team has been on the road speaking with local communities about the challenges facing our healthcare system and how we can make it better. In all, more than 1,000 conversations have occurred.

This is the third town hall in the Your Care, Your Say series and will be taking place tonight at 6 p.m. in the Moose Jaw Library (Upstairs South Meeting Room which is accessible via the marble staircase in the rotunda or elevator), with doors opening at 5:30 p.m.

“What we have heard so far is that our healthcare system in Saskatchewan is in crisis,” said Beck. “People don’t want to settle for the status quo — they know how great this system can and should be.”

Yesterday, the Saskatchewan NDP released the first phase of their consultation in action through an interim report and summary. The report outlined six key themes that defined Saskatchewan’s healthcare system after 20 years under the Sask. Party government:

Primary Care is Not Primary: A System Without a Front Door
Centralization Without Results: The Loss of Accountability and Local Decision-Making Under the SHA
In The Dark & No Seat at the Table: Exclusion, Lack of Transparency, Communication Breakdown
Burnt Out and Shut Out: Healthcare Provider Retention Must Be The Focus
Pressure and Declining Access: A System Responding to Crises Instead of Preventing Them
Waste, Mismanagement, and the Rise of For-Profit Care

“We heard from people loud and clear about the issues plaguing our healthcare system,” said Meara Conway, Shadow Minister for Health. “Long wait times, lack of family doctors, workers feeling burnt out and unheard, the list goes on.

“The people of Saskatchewan are ready for a government that actually listens to them. They are ready for change.”

The report further outlines five principals that will shape healthcare policy development in the coming months:

Make primary care the foundation of the healthcare system.
Put patients and communities back at the centre of decision-making.
Support and retain healthcare workers.
Improve transparency, accountability and access to information.
Strengthen public healthcare through better planning and stewardship.

“We know that solutions need to be brought to the table here and not just pointing out what's wrong,” Conway said. “Although our initial consultation is done, we also want to keep engaging with the people and communities who are at the heart of this project.

“We hope to see folks in Moose Jaw come out to provide us with feedback or suggestions on this interim report so that we can keep building off of this foundation that we have already established.”

The detailed interim report and summary can be found on YourCareYourSay.ca.
