The new mental hospital announced yesterday for North Battleford is too big, according to a group that speaks for mentally ill people.
The group is called The Danny Hughes Associates Mental Health Advocacy Group.
Spokesman Bob Hughes says North Battleford is too far away for people who live in the North. And for people who live in the south.
Hughes says families need to be close to mentally ill patients to help them heal. He said some families find it hard to get there even once a year.
