Quebec’s health minister on Dec. 5 defended his government’s efforts to reduce wait times in hospitals, yet admitted it was “completely unacceptable” two people died in a Montreal-area emergency room last week.
The deaths at Anna-Laberge hospital, in Chateauguay, Que., south of Montreal, are now the subject of investigations by the Quebec coroner’s office and the local health authority, Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de la Montérégie-Ouest.
