The NDP wants to see a more specific timeline from the provincial government on the abolition of the use of private agency travel nurses.

Leader Jim Dinn would also like to see government clearly state how many nursing vacancies there are in the public health care system.

Recently, health agencies in New Brunswick provided timelines on when it would discontinue the use of privately-employed nurses in that province.

Dinn wants to know how much money Newfoundland and Labrador is spending on travel nurses as he says the information is not available from government.
