Health Resources Required

Two northern Ontario New Democrat MPP's are calling on the province to provide the health care resources needed to stop the spread of H1N1 flu in First Nations communities.

Howard Hampton and Frances Gelinas also want the Liberals to address underlying conditions that are making the communities more vulnerable to the flu.

Hampton and Gelinas say nursing stations at many northern First Nations are already stretched to the limit.
