The Opposition Tories are hammering Health Minister Mike Murphy over word the Canadian Blood Services plans to move the blood distribution system out of our city to Halifax.
The Tories say Murphy did nothing after learning of the plan a year ago — but — the Minister says there is still lots of time to fight the fight — Murphy says we have almost three years before the lock goes on the door at the University Avenue facility.
The move will mean 17-jobs will also be lost locally — the Legislature is expected to vote on a joint motion later this afternoon calling on the Canadian Blood Services to reverse its decision.
