GANDER, N.L. – A Newfoundland hospital is being investigated by the RCMP over the care of a newborn at the facility.
Authorities aren’t saying much about the incident at James Paton Memorial Hospital in Gander, but Sgt. Wayne Newell says it involves staff at the facility.
He says no one is in custody and he doesn’t know if more than one employee is involved.
Roger Pike, a spokesman for Newfoundland’s Central Health District, says the baby is fine.
He says the health authority called police after an incident Tuesday, but he’s declining to give details, citing privacy issues.
Pike says an internal review was done into the incident and that’s when they decided to ask police “to conduct a formal investigation.”
