Launching today, Saskatchewan NDP Shadow Health Minister Meara Conway and Shadow Minister for Rural and Remote Health Jared Clarke will be conducting a province-wide consultation on the future of healthcare in Saskatchewan.
“We used to lead the country in healthcare. Now, under the Sask. Party, we rank dead last,” said Conway. “Healthcare workers are leaving in droves. The system is broken, but we believe Saskatchewan people can help us fix it.”
The Sask. Party took control of healthcare away from local leaders in 2017 by amalgamating all health regions into the Saskatchewan Health Authority. Since then, the system itself has gotten in the way of care.
“It’s bloated, uncoordinated, and too often run by people in Regina behind closed doors who are more interested in hiding problems than solving them,” said Conway.
“Healthcare decisions should be made by the people on the frontlines and in the communities who live this every single day,” Clarke added.
The consultations will gather input from patients, frontline workers, municipal leaders, and families across Saskatchewan. Clarke said the goal is to shift decision-making and resources back into the hands of local communities.
“Saskatchewan has a legacy of pursuing bold ideas in healthcare when others would not. We have done this before and we can do it again,” said Clarke.
“We owe it to future generations to rebuild healthcare from the ground up,” added Conway. “That means listening to people, putting communities first, and making Saskatchewan’s system nation-leading again, now and into the future.”
