The Health Minister, Hugh Flemming said on Friday that health reforms will be considered to ensure high quality care to all the residents of New Brunswick.

Flemming talked of a new five year plan that will make the reforms. It will include expansion to the existing services and introduction of some new services that will be aimed at improving the health care for the residents of the province.

The Health Minister also said that the changes are being made as the government is concerned about the high quality health care availability to the residents, that to in a sustainable manner and in a way of the public's choice.

The plan costs are estimated as much as $9 million. The move is being considered in the wake of unequally distributed services between the Health Horizon Network and the Vitalite Health Network.

The Health Horizon Network Covers the English areas of the province and the Vitalite Health Network covers the Francophone areas.

Dr. Hubert Dupuis, the President of Egalite sante en francais group which threatened to sue the government if it denied providing equal services in English and French, was happy with the new plans. "This day marks the day that the New Brunswick government has recognized that there is inequality between the health services in the francophone institutions and the anglophone institutions", he said.
