Your responses will be circulated to cancer patients and survivors in New Brunswick and included on our website at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/survivornet.ca\/\">www.survivornet.ca<\/a>. Links to your responses will also be posted on Facebook and Twitter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 1: Access to primary healthcare<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>According to Statistics Canada, more than 11.3% of the province\u2019s population is without a family doctor. This means that 107,787 New Brunswickers are without access to primary care. In addition, wait lists for general practitioners are increasing from one to two years, and this problem is projected to worsen with doctors retiring and the growth of the senior population.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If elected, what steps will your government take to increase the availability of family doctors and healthcare practitioners in New Brunswick?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 2: National pharmacare<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Canada\u2019s universal healthcare system does not include access to prescription medicines. The result is a provincial\/territorial patchwork of public and private insurance plans that are costly, ineffective and do not guarantee access to prescribed drugs. The federal government has set up an Advisory Council on the Implementation of Pharmacare to look at how access to prescription drugs can be improved in our healthcare system. Patients throughout Canada are concerned that national pharmacare will lead to a list of covered drugs that only meets the lowest common denominator.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If elected, will your government support the implementation of a national pharmacare program that guarantees access to prescription medicines and a coverage plan that goes beyond a formulary that meets the lowest common denominator?<\/p>\n<p>If not, please explain how your party will ensure that New Brunswickers will have timely access to prescription drugs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Question 3: Patient engagement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Patients are key stakeholders in the healthcare system. Currently, there are no dedicated patient engagement committees that advise the provincial government on healthcare issues.\u00a0Regional health authorities have patient advisory committees, but more is needed.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>While the government consults with regional health authorities and physicians, patients must also have direct participation in these consultations by being included in the provincial level.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If elected, will your government take steps to create a Patient Engagement Committee that directly advises the government on healthcare issues?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We thank you for your attention to this important matter.<\/p>\n<p>Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Canadian Cancer Survivor Network<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>R\u00e9ponse: The Green Party if elected would eliminate the government-imposed caps on Medicare billing numbers in New Brunswick.\u00a0 That would allow more physicians to practice here.\u00a0 I also think it would be<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":9685,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9806","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
