Doctors Address Emergency Care

Senior doctors at the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance are speaking out on emergency services, as well as quality and patient safety.

The doctors who make up the Medical Advisory Committee at the Alliance are holding a news conference this afternoon to share information and their clinical expertise on the issues.

The committee says the doctors are concerned about the dialogue over possible changes to emergency services.

The Wallaceburg board has accused the Alliance of planning to close the community emergency room.

What isn't clear is how deeply they will delve into the issue, they don't plan to comment on board decisions and won't be a presentation on proposed ER models.
