The Alberta government will table Budget 2024 on Thursday, Feb. 29, and all eyes are on the government to see where spending will be directed.
Dr. Paul Parks, president of the Alberta Medical Association, said he has been advocating for dedicated funding for primary care and acute care.
Parks said he has had positive communication with the health minister and premier on these topics, and is hopeful dedicated funding will be included in next week’s budget. But he admits Alberta is falling behind other prairie provinces.
“They have said they understand the urgency and how critical it is to invest in primary care and stabilize the acute care system.” “We have noticed in the past the provincial government has not given our capital city the attention that it needs,” Sohi said.“The city has always seen under-investments from the provincial government of the past. But I am hopeful that this new government will give Edmonton fair treatment and equitable treatment.”Chetan Dave is a professor of economics at the University of Alberta. He isn’t optimistic when it comes to spending on health care.
“I am pretty pessimistic on the spending on those items that the standard, middle-class family that’s growing and working… that those families would normally care about.”
