Health

During Question Period on health, Conservatives asked about the end of federal funding for the PrescribeIT electronic prescription program run through Canada Health Infoway, saying $300 million was spent with little to show for it, citing the former CEO’s salary, and objecting that Liberals at the health committee moved debate on their motion for an investigation in camera. Liberals replied that the program launched in 2017 was intended to become self-funded, that uptake fell short of what was needed for financial sustainability, that funding is being redirected to better serve patients, and that Infoway’s mandate is being refocused toward national health data standards. A Liberal house leader also spoke generally about the value of committee collaboration.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
