Merritt mayor optimistic for end to persistent ER closures with new health minister in place
MERRITT — The Mayor of Merritt is optimistic there will be improvements in healthcare in his community, after a meeting with new B.C. health minister Josie Osborne.
“I’ve got some good feelings with the new minister,” Mike Goetz told CFJC Today. “We’ve had a conversation and there will be more, and I’m looking forward to a plan.”
“Even if its a plan that is going to take a little bit of doing and we still have some closures, but at least if we have a plan that we know that we’re working towards, I think that’s the best thing for all of us.”
