For immediate release: April 25, 2025
The Sask. Party has closed the emergency room in La Loche because there aren’t enough staff.
Patients in need of emergency care should not have to drive nearly two hours to Île-à-la-Crosse. This is dangerous, irresponsible, and a situation so many different communities are facing right now.
After 18 years of the Sask. Party, our province is ranked last place in wait times and in healthcare worker recruitment and retention.
Our health system will keep going in the wrong direction unless the Sask. Party reverses their plan to cut healthcare by $17 million in the budget.
This government needs to stop taking rural and northern communities for granted.
Saskatchewan people deserve healthcare when and where they need it, now and into the future.
