PrintGovernment won't cuts health transfers in next budget, says Aglukkaq
Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq says the government's transfer money will grow by $1.4-billion to $25.-4 billion in 2010-11, and will reach more than $30-billion in 2013-2014.
Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq says the timeliness of the government's response to the H1N1 vaccine rollout in the fall "was exemplary," but wants to better communicate its message next time around. She said the government will turn to its pandemic flu plan again in the future, is pleased that 45 per cent of the population got vaccinated, but wants more Canadians to get vaccinated this year and said one of her biggest problems throughout was dealing with opposition critics who "were quick to score cheap points on a public health crisis."
