A seniors' group is happy the province is keeping its word by raising the low-income seniors' allowance to 400-dollars.
But the Senior Citizens Federation still wants the government to improve coverage of diabetic testing supplies for older people.
The Department of Health said yesterday the province invested about six (m) million dollars a year in 2008-09 to support access to diabetes medication for close to 15-thousand people.
That coverage was provided to groups including low-income seniors and residents of nursing homes.
