Meili calls on Sask. Party not to repeat hospital-build failures following flood of sewage, boil-water advisory, and credit downgrade
The Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford is currently on a boil-water advisory and sewage has flooded the basement, according to an internal memo obtained by the Saskatchewan NDP.
“This new facility has been an unmitigated disaster because of the Sask. Party’s embrace of a P3 model that rewarded shoddy construction by out-of-province companies,” said NDP Leader Ryan Meili. “The walls, roof, and plumbing have all needed to be redone. There has been extensive flooding leading to mould damage. Staff and residents have been left drinking poisoned water. And now the basement has been inundated with raw sewage and patients are unable to use the water to bathe. What is the Sask. Party doing to address these failures, and how can we expect that their promised PA hospital rebuild will turn out any better?”
