This Member’s Statement was presented by Kelvin Parsons in the House of Assembly on December 2, 2008
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Burgeo & LaPoile
MR. PARSONS: I rise today to welcome Dr. David Thomas to Port aux Basques, and to congratulate him on accepting the position of Chief of Staff at the Dr. Charles L. Legrow Health Centre at Port aux Basques.

The Chief of Staff position at the Centre has been vacant since November 2006 and Dr. Thomas will provide an important local voice at the regional level. The Chief of Staff position is a part-time job, and duties include: working with the regional medical advisory committee, organizing the rotation of doctors at the local hospital, ensuring standards of care are met, assisting in recruitment, participating in budgeting and planning processes, general administration and communication.

Originally from Musgravetown, Dr. Thomas started a family practice at Port aux Basques this past July after graduating from Memorial University.

Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of this House to join with me in extending congratulations to Dr. David Thomas on accepting the position of Chief of Staff at the Dr. Charles L. Legrow Health Centre. All the best to Dr. Thomas and his wife, Susan.

Thank you.
