Health reform plans outlined for westman area
Representatives from Indian bands were invited but could not attend. Belbeck states the West Central Health Association aims to match or beat current service costs. Location of future health care delivery remains unclear as multiple proposals are reviewed. Feedback from the provincial government is due in June ahead of Phase 2 initial implementation, with details and further directives to come in fall and January 1994.
