Hospital Beds at The Regional Are Not Closing

Acting Health Minister Greg Byrne disputes Rothesay Conservatiove MLA Margaret Ann Blaney's claim that despite a new nursing home opening in Quispamsis, 40 beds will close the Regional Hospital.


Byrne says there is no truth to that and the beds will be available. He finds it disconcerting that Blaney would mislead the public this way.


Blaney told us earlier this week that despite the new nursing home opening in Quispamis making 60 beds available in hospital, 40 beds would close at the Regional.
