He says an independent review of the homes found 11 were set to be replaced due to health concerns and it's still sitting on the back burner. The former Liberal government proposed a 9 million new facility for the community.
Doucette goes on to say 100 thousand dollars has been spent on the mould this year alone at the Grand Manan Nursing Home without any discernible improvement.
Meanwhile Social Development Minister Sue Stultz says the province is working to address the mould issue. She tells CHSJ News building a new nursing home would not have prevented the problem because the new home wouldn't have been constructed until 2012. Stultz says the province is moving forward with their review of nursing homes as quickly as possible, and does plan to move forward as soon as any deficiencies are identified.
