Issues in Norway House and Cross Lake show that health care crisis is all over Manitoba under the Gary Doer NDP

This Friday, the Chiefs in Norway House and Cross Lake spoke out forcefully about the health care problems in their communities.

The hospital in Norway House, a community of about 6500 people, has not been able to operate adequately as a hospital for the last two years. Right now the community is down to one doctor when it should have six. At Cross Lake, shortages of nurses have created major problems with community members getting access to health care.

It is good that the two communities have decided to work together to address the health care crisis which has arisen under the provincial stewardship of Gary Doer and the NDP.

The number of communities with health care issues under the NDP speaks volumes about the poor management of health care under Gary Doer. I repeat what I said recently on this blog. It is time for Gary Doer to step down and let others get the job done.
