Health Minister Says Spend Smarter To Avoid Cuts

Each person in the province should be able to get world class healthcare considering the government spends 3 billion dollars a year to provide it. 

That's the view of Provincial Health Minister Ted Flemming who says there's a big difference between cutting and spending smarter and that's how you can rein in the year to year increase in healthcare costs.


Flemming says they managed to reduce the individual costs of all those personal computers you see at virtually every desk in every hospital around the province by 450 dollars each by going with one manufacturer and one specification.
