Saskatchewan Bariatric 15-month pilot project is full!

[CIBCSlayer 0]

"The Bariatric Surgical Assessment Clinic has been established as a 15-month pilot project starting March 10th, 2008 to assist the Health Region in understanding what resources will be required for full implementation. During the pilot phase, the clinic will support up to 125 patients.

Since the announcement of the clinic in February 2008, there has been significant interest from the public and, as a result, Regina Qu'appelle Health Region has now reached the maximum number of people it can support during the pilot phase".

I know this will frustrate many people, but please understand they did this pilot to understand what they need to do a permanent program. That's a great thing! We all need to be patient and I believe things will come.

I have a meeting with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health on the 29th, and I expect it to be very fruitful.
