A joint news conference called by the Registered Nurses Union and the Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Association over the lunch hour was cancelled after the groups met with NLHS officials.

The two organizations called the news conference to talk about proposed plans to move adult gynecology inpatients to the Janeway.

However, the event was cancelled after a meeting with NL Health Services CEO Pat Parfrey and other officials.

Parfrey clarified that no decision has been made on moving adult gynecology services to the Janeway.

The NLMA and RNU say NLHS has also committed to consult with frontline workers and representative organizations before any decisions are made.

The NLMA says it agrees with that approach, and will advise if a decision is made contrary to the advice of physicians.
