The province plans to buy a less-modern machine and BOT President Imelda Gilman tells CHSJ News one of her group's commitments is to grow the healthcare sector.
She says an outdated piece of equipment is a step backwards and the community has spent a lot of time and effort to raise the money. She says it should be used on something it wants.
She adds the BOT has met with Dr. John Whalen, the head of diagnostic imaging at the Regional, and he says there are no additional costs to operating a 3T MRI.
