These are some of the statements I made recently about the state of Healthcare in Nova Scotia at the March 19, 2024 Health Committee meeting:
I have to say that the people who have been waiting for Primary Care who end up getting their Primary Care from a you know a doctor with a text message in Calgary or standing in line for 3 hours at a walking clinic or going to a mobile clinic and hoping to God that they're going to get there in time. It's not good enough and for a government that's been elected to fix healthcare to not be able to say by the next election this is going to be what we've done or this is where we want to be and then you can vote to tell us if you think we did a good job or not. I just find it, I find it unreal actually and I I just like it's not good enough. I know that everyone is working so hard but it feels like to the people who aren't attached or don't have like you know a a when someone feels sick that they make a choice not to contact, not to try to get an appointment because they know they're going to be waiting for hours and hours and hours or whatever. Oh we'll just see how I feel tomorrow. That's not a good state.
