YORKTON The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) is calling for the government to save microbiology services at the Yorkton Regional Hospital lab. The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is cutting microbiology testing from the hospital, which means starting Sunday, microbiology samples from the Yorkton and area will now be sent to Regina for processing. Although preliminary testing will be done in Yorkton, bacterial samples will be sent to Regina for cultures. When results are available, they will be emailed to the doctor. CUPE believes this will result in an increased workload for staff at the Regina lab and will cause delays that could have life-threatening consequences.
REGINA Richard Baron received a shocking diagnosis two weeks ago that he has lung cancer which has spread to his brain causing a tumour.

Surgery is needed to remove the tumour before he can begin his cancer treatments, but Baron’s family learned this week that his surgery is being delayed due to a lack of intensive care beds available in Regina. You kind of feel powerless in what do you do knowing that there’s no beds available, but there could have been measures taken to ensure that in cases like this when people are needing critical treatment that it would be available to them, Woytuik said.
