00:00One such investment I would really welcome is a new ED for Elton and Galvin. In 1985,
00:05our health service was in a different place. 1985 was when Elton and Galvin ED was instructed.
00:11It was added to in 2001 to allow for a 50-seat waiting area. It is well documented that this
00:16A&E is lacking in space with overcrowding not only affecting the patient's waiting,
00:21but also adversely affecting hard-working staff. Just picture yourself trying to provide skilled
00:27healthcare in an environment that can resemble a chaotic army field hospital. I suppose that
00:32can be replicated right across our province.
