Resolution

WHEREAS the amalgamation of health and school divisions is under consideration at this time;

WHEREAS previous experience has shown that the quality of health and education services in rural areas deteriorates under forced amalgamation, with little net gains in cost savings and efficiencies;

BE IT RESOLVED that APAS support a delivery model for health and education services for rural Saskatchewan that is cost-effective and efficient, but does not include the forced amalgamation of health regions and school divisions.
