Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston revives campaign pledge to fix health care at party meeting

Houston vows to make whatever financial investment is needed to turn the health crisis around

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston is reassuring his party faithful that he still intends to fix the province’s health care system at whatever cost it takes.

Houston says his heart goes out to the families of a 67-year-old woman in Cape Breton and a 37-year-old woman in Amherst who died days apart in December after waiting for hours in regional emergency departments. He says the province is currently spending 41 cents of every dollar on health care, and he will spend “whatever it takes” to make the necessary change.
