Campbell speaks out over Doctor Shortage in Ear Falls

Health care concerns in Northwestern Ontario continue as Ear Falls is expected to lose its only doctor at the end of this month.

Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell raised the issue in the Legislature today and says the Government is ignoring the needs of the North.

Minister of Health Deb Matthews says the Government has made it a high priority to increase physician coverage in the North.

Campbell claims the Minister has been ignoring Ear Falls by not returning phone calls or e-mails.
