The new Health Minister thinks doctors are reasonable people and a dispute over fee’s in Black’s Harbour can be sorted out.
Doctors at the Fundy Health Centre are threating to shut down the clinic’s emergency room because the Horizon Health Network wants to charge them $1.50 for every patient they see.
Ted Flemming tells CHSJ News thinks the dispute is a glitch in the billing process.
He says he doesn’t take the idea of the doctors not working past November 30th as a threat adding he hopes to have the matter resolved long before then.
Flemming adds he has already been speaking with the doctors on this issue and plans to meet with them this week.
