The following is a Press Release I received a while back from the office of
Hon. Wayne Gaudet, MLA and Speaker of the House, in relation to the
above-captioned. It's old news but just in case some of you missed it, here
it is (retyped by myself).

"It's been a very busy year for Nova Scotia's physician recruitment
coordinator, Frank Peters.

Most recently, he has been instrumental in helping three more physicians
relocate to communities in the province. Two physicians have set up practice
in rural Nova Scotia, and one other will be relocating to the province early
in the new year.

The community of Shubenadie welcomed Dr. Lorraine Pelley on Oct. 15.  Dr.
Pelley is originally from Summerford, Nfld., and received her medical degree
from Memorial University in 1991. She is relocating from Ontario where she
was in family practice.

Dr. Colin Sutton, originally from South Africa, began practising in
Stellarton, Dec. 2. He graduated with his MD from the University of
Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in 1988 and then practised family medicine in
Johannesburg and Cape Town. Dr. Sutton is moving from Crystal City, Man.,
where he was in family practice.

Dr. Marie Josee McGrath will be setting up practice in Meteghan on Jan. 13.
A native of Dieppe, NB, she graduated this year with her MD from Laval
University, Quebec City. The community of Meteghan was very instrumental in
this recruitment initiative.

Since septemer 1995, the recruitment initiative of the Medical society of
Nova Scotia and the Nova Scotia Department of Health, along with the
assistance of Nova Scotia commmunities, has resulted in 20 positions being
filled across the province -- nine under the incentive package, and 11
physicians placed in non-incentive areas.
