Hazelton, an Antigonish native and St. FX University graduate says one of the topics touched on was the importance of every Canadian having access to primary health care.
Hazelton says at the meeting, she also talked about violence in the health care system. The most recent incident was Wednesday in the Halifax Infirmary’s Emergency Department where three staff members were injured.
Hazelton says governments and others need to start taking this issue more seriously. She says health care workers need to be protected.
