Residents could die within two years. We need to make sure that people are getting these treatments as quickly as possible.
Just for the record, I think the individuals at Stanton performing the procedures are experts and are awesome at what they do and they deserve to be patted on the back. I’m not talking about the actual performance of the procedure; I’m talking about screening and getting the procedures to happen and scheduled on a regular basis.
I’m wondering if I could get the Minister to commit to having Stanton implement a monitoring and
reminder process that ensures that residents are regularly updated on the status of their colon cancer screening; something more than reminding them the day or two in advance of the actual appointment. It could be really important and a good gesture of our government to actually put in a system where we can make sure that we remind people on a regular basis so they don’t miss appointments. Missed appointments cost the system money.
