B.C. NDP criticizes IH decision to privatize laundry services

Mar 7, 2016 | 10:57 AM

KAMLOOPS — BC’s opposition NDP are raising concerns over the company chosen to provide laundry services to Interior Health.

When the privatization announcement was made last week, Interior Health said the company selected is Ecotex Healthcare Linen Service, based in Abbotsford.

But NDP MLA Michelle Mungall says a company by the same name is based in Seattle, and she believes that company is the parent company.

Mungall says regardless of where the company is based, Interior Health’s decision still doesn’t make sense.
