REGINA - Saskatchewan chiropractors say they fear the government is on the verge of delisting their services in the upcoming provincial budget.
Shane Taylor, head of the chiropractors association, says he believes the government is likely to cut funding because it wants to save money.
But Taylor argues in a letter sent to Premier Brad Wall that the move would have the opposite effect because patients would be forced to seek care in other areas of the health system.
Taylor is concerned because the province won't sign off on a contract that it reached with chiropractors late last year.
Health Minister Don McMorris says everything is on the table as the government looks to trim costs in the March 24 budget.
McMorris notes that Saskatchewan and Manitoba are the only provinces to cover chiropractic services.
