The province is defending its decision to turn down a donation worth $2 million intended for a new MRI machine at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Estevan.

    I understand their justification, and that’s not often said with the SaskParty. If there’s not a demonstrated need for the equipment, plus staff to operate it, plus maintenance, it shouldn’t be installed.

    I do hope the donor can agree to fund other, more necessary measures, but they should definitely consult with the providers in the area to determine what’s actually needed, not just assume based on the rumblings of coffee row.

    I will say I’m quite disappointed at the response of Carla Beck as well, clearly demonstrating she also does not understand the need while using the opportunity to only criticize and pander. Its expected from the Buffalos, but I was hoping for a more measured response from the NDP.
