A
complete prescription and catastrophic drug program will be in place
before the next provincial election in September of 2014.
That
promise being made by Provincial Health Minister Ted Flemming who says
he expects to begin rolling out parts of a catastrophic drug program as
early as this fall.
Liberal
health critic Donald Arseneault is accusing the Alward government of
delaying the program in order to buy votes ahead of the next
election.
Flemming denies that, claiming time is needed to make sure it's done right because of the program's complexity.
