With the provincial deficit rising, many Charlotte County residents wondering what else will be on the chopping block in healthcare.
Premier David Alward in St. Stephen last night, addressing the pros and cons of the provincial economy.
Alward tells Tide News they will be looking for ways to carry on services more efficiently -- like they did with the laundry services. He says, "What I can tell New Brunswickers is we are committed to providing excellent healthcare, we have been changing how we do things, and I know people don't always like change, but what I can say is that this will allow us to focus on those things that are most important."
Alward says one example they want to concentrate on would be the catastrophic drug plan, in which New Brunswick is the only province without access.
