NDP Leader Carla Beck made the pledge Tuesday in Regina as her party campaigns to win government in the Oct. 28 election
Saskatchewan NDP Leader Carla Beck has promised to invest more than $1-billion into health care to help a system struggling with staffing shortages, while Scott Moe’s Saskatchewan Party has proposed help for those with disabilities.
Beck pointed to a briefing note last month to the government from the Saskatchewan Government and General Employees’ Union. “We've got concerns in diagnostics, we've got concerns in pathology, we've got concerns with family doctors,” she said. The plan would see a 25 per cent increase in the Disability Tax Credit for adults, the Disability Tax Credit Supplement for children and the Caregiver Tax Credit.
