Speaking about the ideas the department received, Health Minister and Antigonish MLA Michelle Thompson said she was pleased with the responses. She said health care workers are the best people to help inform the department on potential changes.
The voting, which runs until January 8, is available online at novascotia.ca/healthcare-challenge . Nova Scotia Health will announce the results at the end of January. The province pledged to work with partners in the health care system to implement the top 10 ideas, adding even those not in the top 10 will be considered if they have potential.
