We had an opportunity to meet as a committee last week. At that time we looked at how we're going to work together, and spent some time talking about how legislation could support a stronger health system. We will spend a little more time scoping out the issues so that we can get the best input possible from stakeholders and the public.

Our plan is to talk to stakeholders in October, as well as get input from the public through this website.

Our timelines are tight as we will be reporting back this fall, but we hope to hear from as many people as possible.
