Asked about what is happening with the replacement of Weyburn General Hospital, Merriman said, “We’ve got seed money in this budget to be able to do to work on that. So we're working with Sask. Builds, and other arms of the government, and working with community consultation to be able to get that Weyburn hospital up and running as fast as we possibly can.
Asked for a timeframe, he responded, “We haven't got the timeframe nailed down right now. We're still in the process of working it out. There’s a large consultation process that we have to go through with any large build like this, but it is moving forward to where we're hoping to get it done as soon as possible.”
