On Monday PC leader Tony Wakeham said the inquiry raised more questions and highlighted the urgent need for a judicial inquiry.
Hanrahan found that, in 2022, NL Health Services awarded Agency A a $28.3 million contract despite the agency having less than two years’ experience.
He said most nursing graduates in the province are hired full-time only if they’re willing to work in very rural or remote areas.
“The public has lost confidence that the Liberals can manage healthcare responsibly,” he said Monday.
“A judicial inquiry is the only way to uncover the truth, ensure accountability, and prevent this from ever happening again.”
