Shadow Minister
Health
Nowhere is the Sask Party government’s out of touch approach more acutely felt than in our redlining healthcare system.
In 2025, Meara was appointed the Shadow Minister for Health and she is excited to delve into this challenging area and champion much-needed solutions at a time when healthcare workers are too often ignored and burning out, patients are waiting longer, and Saskatchewan is dead last on many key indicators in healthcare.
Meara believes in ambitious primary care reform, the need to invest in better, more dignified supports for our growing elderly population, the need to shorten wait times for surgeries and acute care services, and invest in broad social indicators to guarantee better health outcomes across our diverse communities. Meara comes from a family of proud healthcare providers – rural and urban alike – and her grandparents were on the frontline for the battle for medicare. She believes we have to draw on Saskatchewan’s legacy of innovation, equity, fairness, and cooperation to once again build up a healthcare system that works for the entire province.
If you are a healthcare provider, administrator, or patient, who wishes to bring a healthcare-related issue, idea, or interaction to Meara’s attention, contact us for a guaranteed confidential and off the record conversation with Meara or one of her staff. → Regina Elphinstone-Centre Constituency Office
