Dr. Garland Objects to Moving Blood Center

Dr. Andrea Garland has concerns about what will happen now that the Alward government has decided to move blood production from Millidgeville to Dartmouth.

She says that we had a terrific facility here with a great donor base. Moreover, she says the decision is a disappointment because the fight to keep the center was so time-consuming: she and her colleagues had hoped to find a way to make a center here work.

Garland says that according to her research, blood is expensive across the country. Her concern is that without a center here in the province, New Brunswickers will have less access to blood and blood products.
