WINNIPEG — Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said Tuesday he is pausing some activities by the province's Diagnostic and Surgical Recovery Task Force — a group set up under the previous Progressive Conservative government to reduce wait times for health-car
The group has committed roughly $240 million since its inception in 2021 and, in some cases, has signed agreements with out-of-province providers in an attempt to get patients faster treatment.
"I think they were able to demonstrate that they made a significant impact on reducing the diagnostic and surgical backlog," newly elected Tory health critic Kathleen Cook said Tuesday. Now on the government side with 33 fellow New Democrat legislature members, Kinew promised Tuesday to listen to the concerns of health-care workers.
