The opposition is sounding the alarm regarding the number of closures at health care facilities over the holidays.
Exploits MHA Pleaman Forsey says he’s deeply concerned over the closures, which started over the weekend and last, in some cases, until the new year.
NL Health Services says a number of facilities will switch to virtual care including Lewisporte, Harbour Breton, Springdale and Buchans.
Forsey says the (virtual) service is “putting lives at risk” and that the province needs to step up its recruitment and retention efforts of physicans.
