The Saskatchewan NDP is crisscrossing the province as part of a recent initiative called the Critical Condition Tour.

The opposition launched the tour amid increased reports of emergency room closures, overcrowding, and understaffing in rural and remote hospitals across Saskatchewan. For the rest of the summer, NDP Health Critic Keith Jorgenson will be traveling to 28 communities where the provincial government has vowed to implement virtual doctors in emergency rooms via webcams.
