Driedger Defends NDP Health Plan Over Doer Shortages
Dear Mr Doering Myrna Driedger claims the Doer government lacks a plan to tackle health care worker shortages. The NDP argues a concrete plan is in place, citing 288 more doctors since 1999 including 105 in rural areas and a 21 percent rural increase. The NDP highlights nurse growth and expanded training in rural communities, contrasting with Tory cuts of the Filmon era and McFadyen's 2007 pledge to slash the provincial budget by 800 million, impacting rural health services.
