"We will harness the innovation, efficiency, and expertise of the private sector to build out our healthcare infrastructure by introducing the Saskatchewan Integrated Healthcare System (SIHS). Non-government clinics will now have the ability to build facilities and provide services to meet the demands of local communities while remaining publicly funded through government contracts. By allowing choice and competition in the delivery of health care services, while retaining universal access for all, we will ensure that every citizen has access to the world-class medical care they deserve." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20

"We understand that mental health care is a priority. More access to care is a necessity and imperative for reducing barriers for those in need. By opening health care to the private sector there will be a focus on opening mental health clinics, with services funded by the government. We aim to increase service avail- ability and reduce wait times, fostering a more responsive and effective care system. We will also expand access to telehealth options for both urban and rural areas, ensuring availability to reach underserved communities." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20
