Premier Alison Redford said the Tory government wants to move quickly to fund insulin pumps for Albertans with Type 1 diabetes. Speaking to media in Calgary Wednesday, the premier stopped short, however, of giving a timeline on when her party will deliver on its campaign promise.
?That is a discussion that the Minister of Health is having. We do think it?s important. I know that he?s been working with stakeholders on that. That sounds as if it?s something we can do quite quickly. I don?t know what the timing is on that, having to look at that in the context of where we are with our overall health care budget, but certainly want to pursue that quite quickly.?
