Stanton Territorial Hospital in Yellowknife is planning for reduced staff and fewer beds as a result of expiring COVID funding from the territorial government.
The N.W.T. government says it has hotel rooms available for people with special needs who can't stay at the evacuation centre, but when Irene Angulalik asked for one, she never got an answer.
In addition to extended care patients and new long-term care beds, the old Stanton Hospital will soon house the Frame Lake Health Centre, outpatient rehab services currently located in the Centre Square Mall, and the Stanton Medical Centre.
