Plenty of questions coming from the Liberal candidate in Quispamsis about the Conservative plan for doctor recruitement and retention. Mary Schryer who held the portfolio of Health Minister before the writ was dropped tells CHSJ News, the numbers don't add up to simply say your going to double the number of doctor seats in medical schools.
She says it's one thing to blurt out you want to double the number of seats in medical schools but where are they going to come from?
Schryer adds a team led by Dr. Pam Jarret continues it's recruitment drive to fill vacant doctor positions including five in the Saint John area alone.
