The NDP MHA for Labrador West is calling on government to double its efforts to recruit and retain health care workers in the region.
Jordan Brown says the province announced a Family Care Team for the area in Budget 2023, but says the two physicians needed for the clinic have not been secured.
Brown says the lack of recruitment for the clinic is adding more pressure on existing health care workers, and he fears that those employees will leave the district to find work elsewhere.
In a letter to Health Minister John Hogan, Brown urges government to act now to avoid further resignations and decay of local health care services
