Statement
Sarah Hoffman, Alberta’s New Democrat Shadow Minister for Hospital and Surgical Health Facilities, and Jasvir Deol, MLA for Edmonton-Meadows, issued the following joint statement in response to the tragic death of an Edmonton resident after waiting hours in an emergency room:
“This is a terrible tragedy. We send our condolences to the family now grieving the loss of their loved one. This family needs justice, and we join others in demanding answers through a full and transparent review by the appropriate officials.
“ERs across the province are overcrowded. The UCP’s health care cuts and chaos means this has become an unacceptable reality that Albertans have to put up with. More must be done to properly staff our hospitals, invest in our public health care, and ensure Albertans get the care they need — before another tragedy occurs.”
