Healthcare Cut To The Bone?

How will our healthcare be affected in the 2012-2013 provincial budget?

Finance Minister Blaine Higgs says it's not about cutting services that are needed.

Concerns were raised in the border town, as to why the province is cutting hours down in health clinics.

Higgs asked, if it made sense to have a facility open for hours and hours, if there is nothing happening there.

Higgs was in St. Stephen for 1 of 10 pre-budget consultations, getting New Brunswickers' input before the budget is announced.
