Some physicians remain sceptical as metamorphosis of health care continues in PEI.

Prince Edward Island has restructured its health care system by dismantling former decision-making bodies and establishing provincial and regional health boards and a policy council. The province hopes this move will make people think about health care in a more comprehensive way and strengthen community involvement in it. However, some sceptical physicians think the impetus behind the reforms is the desire to save money, not improve health care. "Health reform is strictly fiscal reform," says Dr. Robert Colborne, immediate past president of the PEI Medical Society.
