People and organizations can now start providing feedback on the possible restructuring of Saskatchewan health regions.
Starting Monday, online written submissions can be made to the three-person panel that was appointed to look at the current health region structure.
“Our panel wants to support a robust and open dialogue with key partners and stakeholders throughout this process,” said Dr. Dennis Kendel, one of the panel members.
“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.”
