Abstract

In 2007–2008, comparable health care expenditures stood at $425 Million. Since then, these costs have grown 7 per cent annually... [S]tatus quo growth of 7 percent per year in health care spending is simply not an option. The more we spend on health, the less we are able to address the other needs of Islanders. This fiscal pressure must and will be addressed.” 2012 Prince Edward Island Budget Address (p. 8-9).
