The three-person panel tasked with rethinking the way the province structures the health-care system is now inviting public feedback as it moves forward.
"Our panel wants to support a robust and open dialogue with key partners and stakeholders throughout this process," said panel member Dr. Dennis Kendel.
"The panel wants to ensure the patient is at the centre of a redefined system, which will be structured and governed to best support and improve patient care."
Now, the panel is accepting online submissions to help in its work. The forms can be found on the provincial government's website.(external link)
"Restructuring the health system is an extremely complex process," said panel member Brenda Abrametz.
"The panel welcomes opinions from different perspectives to enhance our abilities to make informed recommendations to the government."
Submissions will be accepted until Sept. 26, 2016.
