Chesley ER focus of Tuesday meeting

There is a public meeting Tuesday night in Chesley about reduced hours at the hospital's ER.

The meeting is at 6:30 p.m. at the Chesley Community Centre.

In September of last year, ER hours were reduced to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. due to a nursing shortage.

And that schedule is expected to continue into the foreseeable future.

Hospital staff, doctors and paramedic services representatives are expected to be at Tuesday's meeting at the Chesley Community Centre.
