Green Party Candidate Says Health Care Can Be Fixed


The former head of a health authority in the Province says there is hope the system can be fixed.  Fredericton Green party candidate Jim Wolstenholme says techniques can be used to make health care in the province more effective and efficient.

He tells CHSJ News the last two governments have not got senior care right with 28 per cent of beds occupied in provincial hospitals by seniors.

Wolstenholme says the $320,000 price tag for a consultant's study of Task Force recommendations on the future of Canadian Blood Services in Saint John wouldn't come up in a non-election year.
