Government Accused of Ignoring Northern Health Care Needs


The Liberal government continues to be pressed over looming health care concerns in northwestern Ontario.

As Rainy River Health Centre looks for more permanent coverage of its emergency room, comes word that Ear Falls is losing its only doctor at the end of the year.

Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell accuses the government of ignoring the needs of the north.

Health Minister Deb Matthews says her government has made it a high priority to increase physician coverage in the North.
