SASKATCHEWAN NDP TO HOLD YORKTON TOWN HALL ON DELIVERING BIG BOLD CHANGE IN HEALTHCARE

YORKTON – The Saskatchewan NDP will be taking its community consultation on big bold change in healthcare to Yorkton, hosting a town hall on November 20.

The event is scheduled for 6 p.m. at the Gallagher Centre, National Bank Convention Place (located on the second floor) with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. It will be the first of several town halls where members of the public will be asked to share their stories on how the Sask. Party has failed to deliver healthcare and their ideas on what should be changed moving forward, including a new hospital for Yorkton. People can also have their voice heard by visiting YourCareYourSay.ca.

“We know that, after 18 years of the Sask. Party, healthcare in Saskatchewan has been driven to dead last,” said Carla Beck, Saskatchewan NDP Leader. “Saskatchewan is the birthplace of Medicare — we can do so much better and, frankly, people deserve so much better.”

‎

The Saskatchewan NDP has already committed that its government would build a new hospital in Yorkton after two decades of broken promises to do so by the Sask. Party. Community and healthcare leaders have said the existing emergency room is too small, acute care rooms are overcrowded, and there aren’t enough pediatric, cancer or mental health spaces.

‎

Beck will host the town hall along with Health Shadow Minister Meara Conway and Rural & Remote Health Shadow Minister Jared Clarke.

‎

“Healthcare decisions should be made by the people on the frontlines and in the communities who live this every single day,” said Clarke. “We need big bold change in healthcare, and we need to end the Sask. Party government’s top-down approach — clearly it’s not working”.
