Premier Brian Gallant and Social Development Minister Cathy Rogers say they will meet with seniors groups to discuss the future of care for the elderly in New Brunswick but have not specified when this will happen.
Rogers pointing out more than half of the long-term care budget goes to nursing home care even though less than eight per cent of seniors go into nursing homes.
She adds the province is facing the challenge of balancing the needs of an aging population with the rising cost and pressures on the long term care system.
