More changes affecting ER services at the hospital in Bonavista.
Virtual ER services are in place today and through to Friday morning. The ER will be open again on Friday, but closed on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
The Bonavista town council is distressed and frustrated with the level of care provided at the local hospital for a catchment area of more than 8,000 people.
Mayor John Norman last week indicated that council is giving serious consideration to offering its own perks and bonuses to physicians willing to set up practice in Bonavista in an attempt to ease the situation and improve the delivery of health care to the region.
