MHA’s will be back in their seats at the House of Assembly today for the fall sitting. Bay of Islands MHA Eddie Joyce says the biggest concern he’s hearing from people in the district is healthcare. He plans to ask if the PET scanner at the new hospital will still be in place by 2027, which goes hand in hand with the new radiation unit and will mean people won’t have to travel to St. John’s for a 20-30 minute procedure. Joyce says he plans to follow up on the 45 Long Term Care beds that were announced for the old hospital as well as the need for family doctors.
The HOA will reconvene starting 1:30 this afternoon and will be broadcasted on the House of Assembly television channel and streamed through their website and social media.
