Canadian Blood Services is moving its production and distribution facility to Nova Scotia from Saint John, Health critic Margaret Ann Blaney says Health Minister Mike Murphy did nothing to stop the move. She tells CHSJ news blood is currently available within minutes–but–the changes will mean blood will have to come all the way from the Darmouth, Nova Scotia.
Blaney says the minister could have garnered legions of support to keep the blood centre in Saint John, but instead decided to tell no one, even though he knew for a year it would be moved. It will result in 17 job losses in the city by 2012.
