Churchill says his party would also investigate the reasons for delays in the major redevelopment of the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre in Halifax.
As well, Churchill says his party would build or expand 40 collaborative clinics across the province, beginning in areas that have the highest rates of people without access to primary care.
The new and expanded clinics would cost a total of $15.3 million each year for four years.
