The health minister had raised the ire of the society after the provincial auditor general suggested their pays be made public. Dr David Isles is the president of the local chapter, and he tells CHSJ News he was satisfied with Flemming's clarification of his position at a recent meeting and is pleased with the minister's attempt to 'clear the air'.
The Alward government has since rejected the suggestion to publicize the salaries of individual doctors, which many had slated as an invasion of privacy. The Health Minister is scheduled to meet with the provincial Medical Society this weekend.
