In regards to mental health services - Saskatchewan spends only five percent of the total health budget on mental health. The national average is 7 percent. And that is lower than almost all other developed countries. My question is why the government bothered to commission a mental health report if they had no intentions of acting on any of the recommendations? It is all well and good to want help for LaLoche and other communities, but the government's lack of commitment to mental health means that those who need help will not get it.
