Regional health centre patients stay at billets, hotels

In a series of questions directed at Keith Peterson, the health minister, Ningeongan said he’s happy to see that Baffin region medical patients can stay at “a well-supported boarding home” while they’re in Iqaluit for appointments at the Qikiqtani General Hospital.
But patients who travel to Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay for appointments must either stay at hotels or find billets with relatives.
