Health Budget Estimates Slammed By Liberals

The health budget estimates are out...and not everyone is happy. Liberal Health Critic Donald Arsenault tells CHSJ News the lack of a catastrophic drug plan in this budget is nothing short of a catastrophe for New Brunswickers.

Arsenault accused the premier of "holding Stephen Harper's hand" at the expense of New Brunswickers interests. Further, he claims Alward simply promised the moon during his campaign, then abandoned his promises once elected.

The Alward government has met with criticisms that it broke its campaign promise to increase health spending, instead attempting to find efficiencies when resources are already stretched far too thin.
