How are third-party/private care deliverers going to fit into our publicly funded health system?
Saskatchewan remains committed to the principles of publicly funded, publicly administered health care. Third party delivery will be handled through health region scheduling systems to ensure that all patients are on a single list and there is no opportunity for people on the wait list to “jump the queue”. Individuals will not be allowed to pay privately for these services. The Patient First Review clearly showed that people want reduced wait times for surgery. This, among many other measures, will help us achieve that.
