O’Driscoll says according to a recent Access to Information request filed by the Telegram there are several healthcare facilities in the province that are in worse condition, and Western Memorial was the worst. O’Driscoll says a lot of seniors' homes need work done, and they are also in worse shape than St. Clare’s Hospital.
