Tide News has been told by Provincial Health Minister Ted Flemming it appears
the healthcare budget is heading for a 26 million dollar surplus.
Flemming
says this turnaround would not have happened had the culture within the
healthcare system not been changed and this change has been embraced by
the people working in healthcare after years of political interference
and bad decision making as a result.
He also
says the healthcare budget next year will not be going up from this year
and the government has achieved this without touching clinical
services.
