More Money for Northern Hospitals?

A little bit of financial support to help with an immediate crisis.

NDP Health Critic France Gelinas says her party has secured an additional 20 million dollars in funding for small, rural and Northern Hospitals.

The agreement was a condition in NDP approval of the Provincial budget.

Gelinas says the money is a step in the right direction for some struggling hospitals.

However, she stresses the NDP will continue to press for more money and against the funding model for hospitals.
