Health care was at the centre of P.E.I. Premier Dennis King’s state of the province address Monday evening, and it included a promise to move long-term care patients out of hospitals and into more appropriate beds.
King, as is customary on the Island, made his address to the Rotary Club.
The premier started his address with an acknowledgement that the province had been through a difficult time in the pandemic, and he included himself in that. The Dennis King of 2024 is still feeling the impact of pandemic isolation, he said, and public speaking does not come as easily to him as it did in 2019.
“Enduring what we have endured has changed us,” King said.
