*Former families and children minister Stephen Horsman said the
department would not hand over the report because its release would
harm the effectiveness of investigation techniques*
They are not too effective I can easily point out 20 family abusing
the system, I can see them smoke, drink beer every day of the week...
David R. Amos

@Marc Martin Why complain of 20 families that you don't like? Methinks
many taxpayers would agree that there are 49 MLA's and legions of
bureaucrats such as yourself who are having fun abusing the system for
the benefit of their families N'esy Pas?
Matt Steele
Sounds like the N.B. Dept. of Social Development believes that they
are " above " the rules and regulations , and can do as they wish .
Not really surprising that Stephen Horsman does not believe in Govt.
transparency since he never said boo about Brian Gallant's 130 MILLION
dollar Francophonie Games , and the hiring of all Gallant's buddies to
manage the games while they filled their pockets with taxpayer cash .
Roy Nicholl
@Matt Steele
The news reports indicated the previous government refused to fund the
"revised" and augmented 130million budget forecast for the
francophonie games ... much as the current government has declined.
Matt Steele
@Roy Nicholl .....Media also reported that Gallant's buddies had
already spent over 2.5 MILLION on the games before Higgs put the
brakes on the boondoggle . Plus Gallant never mentioned the cost over
runs associated with the games even though the Liberal govt. knew
about the issue well before the last prov. election . It is what it is
.
Johnny Horton
@Roy Nicholl
While they didn’t “approve” the budget, they also didn’t stop them
from spending money and bring their pals, all while there was no

Politicians and their cronies cannot " get their hands" on the money that the taxpayers pay to "unions" and most workers to finance the health care system. There fore, " bare bones" is the secretive policy to deal with that issue....and all the other government departments as well whom rely upon pesky well paid union folks. Now, some thing like the " FrancoPhonie Games", that's a whole different ball ( track and field?) game!! Lets pour 130 million into a 2 week event! Whoo Hoo! Whom gets the cash?....I rest my case.....

There is simply no political will to provide the citizens with good health care, or education. Bags of cash, for the bag man, can't simply fall out the side door of schools, or hospitals, without too many knowing/seeing.
You want good schools/hospitals? Set them up with large amounts of petty cash (that does not need accounting for).

Province dropped ball on preventing overcrowded ERs, advocate says
Government has had years to prepare for ER wait times exacerbated by aging population
A longtime health consultant says government inaction is to blame for long wait times in hospital ERs and people sleeping in hospital corridors because there are no free beds.
Ken McGeorge, who co-chaired the New Brunswick's Council on Aging, said the health-care system needs less talk and more action to deal with overcrowding.
"We could be a model for the country and then the ball was dropped," he said.
Last week, Horizon Health chief of staff Dr. John Dornan said about 24 per cent of hospital beds are occupied by people who need to be in nursing homes or their own houses, and not in hospital.
"I'm embarrassed that we've been talking for how many decades about the very same issues, and I'm embarrassed that we have not had or supported the leadership that we needed to do to deal with those issues. … We can be a model in health care for the country, we're not anywhere close to that right now."
New Brunswick's population is quickly aging and the province has one of the highest numbers of seniors per capita. According to Statistics Canada, people over 65 years old make up almost 20 per cent of the population.
McGeorge said he and Dr. Suzanne Dupuis-Blanchard made 77 recommendations in their aging strategy in 2017, and he doesn't expect to see all of them implemented.
Fourteen are relatively inexpensive recommendations that have to do with improving home care for seniors to help them avoid being in the hospital.
"It's back to the future," McGeorge said.
No one at the Department of Health would agree to an interview with CBC News.
In an emailed statement, Department of Health spokesperson Bruce Macfarlane said the government will "develop a plan for improved home care, building on the work of previous governments."
McGeorge said that to their credit, Department of Social Development workers have been working hard on home-care initiatives, but these have "only made a very small dent."
He said he doesn't have a "silver bullet" solution but believes focusing resources on home care and working together would be a step in the right direction.
"There is a great divide between the regulators and the service providers. There's a big gap of understanding."
To combat the gap, McGeorge, said Premier Blaine Higgs must appoint someone who can be a leader and unite departments to focus their work on this one issue.
"Somebody has got to be the spark that pulls people like Dr. Dornan and others together with a clear mandate to fix that," McGeorge said.
"You need a leadership team. Civil servants can't do it [alone]. Politicians can't do it. Just as in P.E.I., a geriatrician with the encouragement of government has set up what they call the coach program. And in two years they have done what we have only talked about."

And in two years they have done what we have only talked about. - Ken McGeorge, health consultantBut instead of implementing the recommendations, the government started an "aging secretariat" and roundtable of around 65 people. Last year, this group produced yet another report, which McGeorge said was the wrong move.
"It's back to the future," McGeorge said.
No one at the Department of Health would agree to an interview with CBC News.
In an emailed statement, Department of Health spokesperson Bruce Macfarlane said the government will "develop a plan for improved home care, building on the work of previous governments."
Leader needed

The government can never be accused of overcrowding the ER's with doctors.
