Council Tables Request For Increased Contribution To Health Care Recruitment

Kapuskasing will be taking a further look before agreeing to increase their financial contribution to health care recruitment in the area.

At council Wednesday members decided to table a request from the Kapuskasing and District Professional Health Care Recruitment and Retention Committee for a two per cent increase in their financial contribution for 2018.

Mayor Alan Spacek says he was in support of the increase, but council members felt it best to first gain a better understanding of their total yearly contributions to health care before approving.

Spacek says supporting health care recruit is important but made tough by the lack of funds currently available.
