Seniors and Rural and Remote Health told Yorkton This Week in an interview Friday. “... What we’re doing here is temporary ... The full intention is this is not a permanent situation.”
Hindley said both he, and Minister of Health Paul Merriman have been made keenly aware of local concerns over the change in services by local MLA Greg Ottenbreit, and other MLAs in the region.
Hindley said the shift in services to Regina has been a response to a temporary shortage of Medical Laboratory Technologists and Medical Laboratory Assistants that is impacting microbiology processing in Yorkton - a sub-segment of the overall Lab Services conducted at the Hospital.
