Federal NDPPeople want to see improvements in the healthcare system, according to Kathleen Jodouin.

She is the federal NDP Candidate for Nipissing-Timiskaming and she held a Healthcare Roundtable in the city this past weekend.

Jodouin was joined by Ontario NDP Health Critic France Gélinas, and they listened and talked with about a dozen residents on the issues related to healthcare.

Jodouin says there needs to be a change. She says people are saying the system is deteriorating and it is compromising people’s health.

She says they want to see improvements and adds this is an NDP priority.

Jodouin adds the federal government needs to work with the provinces and transferring the money necessary for high quality public health care.
