Health P.E.I. board chairman Derek Key addresses the audience at a Health P.E.I. annual general meeting in 2021 in Summerside. - Alison JenkinsMultiple sources told SaltWire Network the recommendations in the letter mirrored points made by Key at a Health P.E.I. annual general meeting in November. Key noted Health P.E.I. does not control the posting of health-care jobs when they become vacant and lacks the ability to hire staff, both of which are the jurisdiction of the Public Service Commission.“The fact that it takes months between deciding that a position should be posted or that there’s a need within Health P.E.I. and actually filling the position is a serious impediment,” Key told the AGM in November.
