MLAs to Premier and Health Minister: ‘Look the people of Kamloops in the eyes. Walk them through your plan…’
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone and North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar called an impromptu news conference early Monday (Sept. 13) morning after the provincial government sent out a news release on Saturday (Sept. 11) addressing staffing shortages at Royal Inland Hospital.
Long wait times in the emergency room lead to the death of a 70-year-old woman last week, resulting in the province hiring two new emergency room nurses and four temporary nurses. But the MLAs say this initiative falls short.
Stone and Milobar feel the province is failing to meet Royal Inland Hospital’s needs.
