Statement from Opposition Liberal MLA Gord McNeilly on the Release of Independent Assurance Report – Health PEI Executive Leadership Team Compensation

Our health system should focus on patients and people, yet what we’re witnessing in yesterday’s release of the Independent Assurance Report – Health PEI Executive Leadership Team Compensation, is executives being prioritized over the needs of Islanders. 


While access to our healthcare system ranks worst in the country, the Health Minister admitted he was unaware of his own agency’s leadership exploiting the government’s shortcomings and squandering public funds. 


Meanwhile, frontline healthcare workers, who are the real foundation of our healthcare system, are left struggling with low wages, forced overtime, and low morale.


Throughout it all, the Minister of Health has been doing nothing other than standing by as these issues continue to worsen.


Islanders face doctor and nurse shortages, limited access to healthcare services, and growing frustration, yet the highest-paid individuals at Health PEI are well looked after.

Islanders deserve a healthcare system where patients come first, frontline workers are valued. 


This report clearly shows the King government’s failure to uphold its own financial policies and its lack of accountability to Islanders.
