Jared Clarke

Jared Clarke supports Bill 606 requiring the public health authority to publish real-time emergency room closure information. He urges immediate passage, arguing the measure could save lives, improve rural patients' access to timely information, and correct missed notifications.

Jared Clarke says Saskatchewan’s urgent care centres cannot be properly staffed, accuses the provincial government of driving nurses and doctors out of the province, and warns access to family doctors has worsened significantly — indicating the government is taking the healthcare system in the wrong direction.

Jared Clarke supports banning parking fees for cancer patients at health authority facilities; he introduced a bill to do so and argues cancer patients shouldn't have to worry about paying for parking, urging the government to make a simple, compassionate policy change.

Clarke urged the Health Minister to meet with the patient and commit to securing the surgery she needs, arguing the government must prevent situations where patients face unbearable suffering or are forced to choose death, and families aren’t put in that position.

Clarke says hospitals in Saskatchewan must be free of pests and implies understaffing—particularly shortages among cleaning and upkeep staff—may have contributed to infestations; he accepted the issue was dealt with but stresses proper staffing and maintenance are required.

Jared Clarke says rural health-care workers are 'holding on by a thread,' warning that recent policy changes are dangerous and compromise care in local communities. He criticizes the minister for dismissing frontline workers' concerns as 'nothing to be seen here.'

Jared Clarke says the provincial government must stop ignoring nurses' concerns, implement the promised nursing task force that hasn’t appeared after 10 months, and sit down with nurses and front-line health-care workers to hear and address staffing and patient-safety issues.
