PEEL HEALTH CAMPUS — ENTERPRISE BARGAINING AGREEMENT
As a supplementary question, by virtue of this meeting next week, does the minister accept ministerial responsibility for the outcome of this dispute? Dr K.D. HAMES

AnswerView source ↗

The government does not have control of the negotiations between the manager of the hospital and the staff. The hospital is run according to a standard of criteria that require an exemplary level of service to the public. If the hospital falls down on any of those conditions that are required in the standard of its service, then the government can take immediate action. This is not one of those circumstances.
