    Wakeham’s plan includes connecting every Newfoundlander and Labradorian with a primary health care provider, without exception, so everyone has an immediate point of contact.

    Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Tony Wakeham  has announced his Health Plan aimed at addressing the critical issue of timely access to health care services. The Stephenville – Port au Port MHA says everywhere he goes he hears the same thing, that health care is not there when it is needed, people are suffering and they’re scared.  Wakeham’s plan includes connecting every Newfoundlander and Labradorian with a primary health care provider, without exception, so everyone has an immediate point of contact. He will also establish family health care teams across the province within two years and prioritize job offers to health care professionals at the start of their training.
