Memorial Hospital Emergency Department in recent weeks. MODG Warden Vernon Pitts told media after the regular council meeting on Wednesday afternoon, that the MODG had put up a $100,000 incentive for new doctors in Guysborough and the onus is on the province to find a fruitful way to attract doctors to rural areas like Guysborough.
Pitts said it was unacceptable for any town or municipality not to have a quality level of health care, “It’s ridiculous. It’s worse than an insult. This gets down to the very basics of life.”
