The leader of Nova Scotia’s PC Party will be in Bridgewater to host a discussion on the province’s health care crisis.
Karla MacFarlane says Premier McNeil ran on a promise to provide a family doctor for every Nova Scotian in 2012.
And she wants to hear how South Shore residents feel that promise has been kept.
“Get right into the grass roots and hear from people on the ground about their experience. And hear from them, and let them speak because not every story makes the news.”
MacFarlane says doctors make less in Nova Scotia than in other provinces, and that makes recruitment tough.
“They’re somewhat bitter and upset that they couldn’t practice here because they want to come home here and they want to go into the rural areas.”
PC Health Critic Eddie Orrell and local MLAs Kim Masland and Chris D’Entrement will also be in attendance.
The meeting gets underway 7:00pm Wednesday night at the Bridgewater Best Western Plus.
