The president of the Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Association, Dr. Lynette Powell, says recruitment, shortages and pay are some issues they hope to resolve during contract talks.(CBC)
Doctors and the Newfoundland and Labrador government are back at the bargaining table, trying to hammer out a new contract.
Talks started before Christmas but sputtered to a stop during the extended provincial election earlier this year. The memorandum of agreement that doctors had with the province was negotiated in 2013 and expired in 2017, but will remain in effect until a new agreement is reached.
