National public health group has 'serious concerns' about N.B. restructuring

A national public health organization says changes the New Brunswick government made to the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health don't make sense.

The Canadian Public Health Association published an open letter to Health Minister Benoît Bourque outlining its concerns.

"We are concerned that the announced changes to the organization of the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health may result in a reduction in the level and efficiency of services provided to the citizens of New Brunswick," says the letter published on the association's website.
