Concerns raised after another after-hours clinic closes in Moncton

The closure of Dr. Louis Bourque’s after-hours clinic marks at least the fourth closure in the Moncton area in the past few months, either indefinitely or for an undetermined amount of time. The Department of Health doesn’t have a direct role in the operation of medical after-hours clinics but says it’s helping New Brunswickers access services through NB Health Link. The province adds the department welcomed 199 doctors to the province in the 2022-2023 fiscal year, while seeing 105 leave their positions, for a net gain of 14 physicians.
