The NDP released a health care road map regarding their Your Care, Your Say project.

The Opposition says the interim report is based on feedback surveys and over 1,000 discussions with workers, patients, researchers, municipal leaders, organizations and Indigenous leaders.

The report and summary identify six major themes surrounding healthcare. Below is a list of the themes.

• Primary Care is Not Primary: A System Without a Front Door
• Centralization Without Results: The Loss of Accountability and Local Decision-Making Under the SHA
• In The Dark & No Seat at the Table: Exclusion, Lack of Transparency, Communication Breakdown
• Burnt Out and Shut Out: Healthcare Provider Retention Must Be The Focus
• Pressure and Declining Access: A System Responding to Crises Instead of Preventing Them
• Waste, Mismanagement, and the Rise of For-Profit Care

The report also laid out five principles to attempt to guide healthcare policy development. The five principles are:

• Make primary care the foundation of the healthcare system.
• Put patients and communities back at the centre of decision-making.
• Support and retain healthcare workers.
• Improve transparency, accountability and access to information.
• Strengthen public healthcare through better planning and stewardship.

As well, the Your Care, Your Say project has already spurred the introduction of several pieces of legislation, such as:

• Bill 606 – The Provincial Health Authority (ER Closure right-to-know) Amendment Act
• Bill 610 – The Provincial Health Authority (ER Virtual Physician right-to-know) Amendment Act
• Bill 614 – The Saskatchewan Medical Care Insurance (Banning Private Fees) Amendment Act
•  Bill 615 – The Provincial Health Authority (Banning Parking Fees for Cancer Patients) Amendment Act
• Bill 617 – The Provincial Health Authority (Family Physician Registry) Amendment Act
• Bill 618 – The Provincial Health Authority (Prohibiting Anonymous Reporting Mechanisms) Amendment Act
• Bill 622 – The Provincial Health Authority (Executive Pay Freeze) Amendment Act
• Bill 630 – The Public Health Care Transparency and Accountability Act

The Minister of Health Jeremy Cockrill responded to the report, stating it was vague. Cockrill pointed attention back to the Sask Party’s Patients First Health Care Plan, describing it as “comprehensive, province-wide strategy with specific actions and goals to improve access to care”.
