JUNOR SPEAKS TO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ABOUT IMPROVEMENTS IN HEALTH SERVICES

Released on January 22, 1999

Associate Health Minister Judy Junor today called on Nipawin and area

business leaders to continue playing a role in the many positive

developments shaping the future of health services.



Speaking at a Nipawin Chamber of Commerce dinner, Junor said the

North-East Health District has built a strong foundation for health

services in the community and she outlined more progressive steps to

come.



"There are many new or expanded services available to people in the

North-East communities," Junor said. "CAT scans are now available in

Prince Albert, there are visiting specialists in areas such as urology

and pediatrics, expanded home care and community-based services like

family asthma clinics and diabetes education that contribute to

healthier lives."



Junor praised the North-East Health District for its leading role in

one of the province's telehealth pilot projects. "Telehealth will let

people from Cumberland House consult with your doctors here, without

having to make the long trip. I can see a day where a patient for

example a heart patient can sit with his doctor in Nipawin and talk

directly with a cardiologist in Saskatoon. They can see and hear each

other and even share the results of an electrocardiogram on the

computer screen all through technology."



Junor said that innovations like telehealth and investments like

new MRI services are part of the government's commitment to build

a strong health system for the future.



"We are providing quality care in this province," Junor said.

"On any given day, 35,000 people are using health services in

Saskatchewan. Our challenge is to maintain into the future the

quality of services that people expect to see."



Junor said that action on waiting lists, improvements to the

College of Medicine and continued dialogue with front-line

workers would all be necessary to keep the system moving ahead at

the provincial level. She asked chamber members to take an

active role in setting priorities at the local level, by working

with the health district.
