John's East – Quidi Vidi) –
To Move:
AND WHEREAS
people are worried their health care system won't be there for them when they
need it;
AND WHEREAS
this level of cost reduction should not proceed without a comprehensive health
sector review, and a plan that will avoid arbitrary, harmful cuts in services;
AND WHEREAS
the Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Association (NLMA) has called for an
independent, expert review of the Province's health care facilities and
services based on wide consultation in the health sector;
AND WHEREAS
the NLMA says the review should be tasked with telling Government how to
reconfigure the health care system to be smarter, less costly, high quality and
focused on patient care and prevention;
AND WHEREAS
the people of the Province expect the House of Assembly to work together on
this issue;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
that Government undertake an independent, external review of health care, to be
conducted by an eminent expert recognized in the field of health care delivery,
with the goal of maintaining quality health care into the future.”
