Health Minister Lela Evans is doubling down on the PC commitment to fully staff the ER in Whitbourne.

The issue came up in the House of Assembly yesterday, following questions by area MHA Sherry Gambin-Walsh.

Gambin-Walsh asked if Evans stands by those commitments, and asks when 24-hour services will be established.

Evans says the department is working with NLHS on that promise, “and we will live up to the commitments in the Blue Book.”
