Health Minister Gene Zwozdesky is in for a special delivery.
The Parkland Institute has put together a report calling for new health care legislation. David Eggen with Friends of Medicare says the three biggest components are improving senior care, creating a provincial pharmacare plan, and reducing wait times.
The concerns were gathered by open houses.
"People are concerned about health care and they want some practical solutions to things that are affecting them on a day to day basis," Eggen explains.
The most recent open house was held Tuesday night in Edmonton. Eggen is hoping for a response from Zwozdesky later this fall. (aa)
