Letter to the editor: Will Northern Health have enough doctors and nurses?

Where is this new staff coming from?

I see that Northern Health has built new hospitals in the region, and there is going to be a large addition to the hospital, seven storeys tall as a surgical unit.

It would appear that there won’t be any problem staffing these new facilities, so my question is: Where are the staff going to come from, and if there isn’t going to be a problem, why is it such a problem now to find doctors, nurses, and the other necessary staff to look after the public in need of services?

Is this a valid question? Does it deserve a reply? I guess we’ll see!
