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.
