Visits to the La Ronge Health Centre’s emergency department rose 4.5% during the first quarter of the fiscal year.
Mamawetan Churchill River Regional Health Authority CEO Andrew McLetchie says they’ve checked into that spike.
At the moment, it appears to be a random thing.
“In particular, for this first quarter, it doesn’t seem to be something where we can pin it down to one particular thing.”
McLetchie says it could be due to a number of things, including specialists taking in more patients than usual.
