More belt tightening awaits South Shore Health and the other 8 health authorities across the province and the IWK Health Centre. The Dexter government has sent out a warning to prepare to pare more from their budgets. PC Health critic Chris d'Entremont of Argyle says enough is enough. He says there's litttle left to be cut as it is! He says: "If you're asking the district health authorities to make due with what they have is quite honestly creating a deficit situation for them because of the different things they have to spend on whether its wages or whether its other contracts they have over longer terms." d'Entremont fears cuts to services might result. Health-care funding represents about 40 per cent of provincial spending, or about 3.8-billion dollars.
