The NDP is highlighting two recent closures of emergency service centres in Broadview and Kipling, while on the campaign trail today (Tues). Emergency services were disrupted between 3pm October 10th and 4pm October 11th at the Kipling Health Centre and from 7 am to 7 pm on October 11th at the Broadview Union Hospital.

NDP candidate for Moosomin-Montmartre, Chris Ball, stated that under the Sask Party, those needing emergency help are being sent on the highway rather than to hospitals. Leader of the provincial NDP, Carla Beck has promised investing an additional $1.1 billion for healthcare to reduce the pressure on emergency rooms and to recruit, train and retain health workers if her party is elected to govern.
