‘The fear is real’: Residents of one N.S. town call for 24-hour emergency care
“. . .
On Tuesday morning, about 30 residents rallied for better access to care. Nova Scotia’s opposition leaders also attended the rally.
“Given the challenge and strain on paramedics right now, and the strains even on the regional hospitals, it has an appreciable impact on … health-care outcomes of people in these communities,” N.S. NDP leader Claudia Chender told Global News.
Chender called on the government to find a way that ensures people across the province have access to health care.
“We’ve heard from lots of people in this crowd; they don’t have a doctor, they can’t get access to virtual care, they can’t get an appointment at the clinic over here.”

Chender said it’s a good “Band-Aid solution” to have because people need access to that primary care. But, “it’s not enough,” she said.
