  • Manitoba NDP Leader Promises Community Health Care If Re-elected April 19
WINNIPEG — Manitoba NDP Leader Greg Selinger is promising to set up a new patient advocate in the health-care system if he is re-elected premier.
 
Selinger says the appointed person would help patients and their families get answers when something goes wrong and there is a critical incident review.
 
He says the advocate would be independent, conduct their own investigations and report to the provincial ombudsman.
 
Selinger also promised new money for health-care centres, including one-third funding for the Concordia Wellness Centre in northeast Winnipeg.
 
He says the centre will offer fitness and clinical programming to help people stay active.
