“. . .
Six years' worth of stats compiled by the NDP through a freedom of information request shows 558 people died in emergency departments across the province last year -- up from 505 in 2021.
"There's a really disturbing trend," Claudia Chender, leader of the Nova Scotia NDP, told CTV News Wednesday.
"This government was elected to fix health care and health care is getting worse," said Chender, who is calling for an inquiry into the increase.
"This is the latest evidence of that, and Nova Scotians deserve to understand why, and what's going to be done about it."
