Yesterday, The Pas MLA Amanda Lathlin took part in a virtual meeting with Manitoba NDP leader Wab Kinew and other Manitoba NDP MLA’s to discuss health care issues in Northern Manitoba particularly the closure of the Leaf Rapids Health Centre.

Lathlin wants the provincial government to look into the staffing shortages that health facilities are facing and to work more closely with the Northern Regional Health Authority to look at what the issues are concerning recruitment so that nursing positions can be filled in areas where they are needed.

Lathlin is expected to bring up these matters in the Provincial legislature in the near future.
