The Bluenose Health private medical clinic offers nurse practitioner services under a monthly subscription program plus added per-service fees. - Ryan TaplinHALIFAX, N.S. — The creep of privatization into health care is raising concerns in Nova Scotia.
“I am very disturbed that this facility is being proposed as a new model for health care,” said. Ian Johnson, vice-president of the Nova Scotia Health Coalition, in a letter to the Chronicle Herald. “This model will do nothing to resolve the current crisis in health care. In fact, I think it will only make the situation worse.”
“The clinic is permitted to set its own rates for services that are not insured,” Khalehla Perrault said in an email. Hugh Gillis, first vice-president at the NSGEU, told the Chronicle Herald last month that nursing “travel” agencies are luring nurses with pay levels double that offered by Nova Scotia Health.“It is really discouraging to work beside someone making more money than you, especially if they’re from the same province as you,” Janet Hazelton told the legislature’s health committee in December.
