    This includes damaged floors, ceiling tiles, water leaks, and other ‘rough finishes’ that require further investigation.

    A new access to information response shows that the new hospital in Corner Brook  holds almost 2,700 deficiencies as staff and equipment begin to move in. PC Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Barry Petten, says this includes damaged floors, ceiling tiles, water leaks, and other ‘rough finishes’ that require further investigation. Petten says payments are being processed on this public private partnership even though the work isn’t done. He says it is government’s responsibility to ensure that any facility they commit to is delivered in a timely manner, up to code, and ready to accept patients to provide timely care.
