The provincial government continues to plead for time in fixing the overcrowding problems at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. In the legislature NDP leader Andrea Horwath pressed the health minister on the issue and Deb Matthews said it's a work in progress. She says the regional health authority, the Northwest LHIN, is working hard to resolve the problem. Matthews points to the new 544 bed seniors complex being building in the city by St. Joseph's Care Group.
