Gordon said beds open and close routinely to respond to patient and staffing needs and that is common to every health system. She also noted that other recent bed closures, such as six out of 36 at the Rocky Mountain House hospital, do not equal service reduction but instead match resources with demand.
“It is unfathomable to me that this government wants to tear down public health care at a time when its importance has never been more apparent to Albertans.”
