No room in Moose Jaw hospital, health minister says

The Opposition NDP in Saskatchewan wants the province's only hyperbaric chamber to stay in a new Moose Jaw hospital.

The government had said there isn't room for the chamber in the hospital, which is now under construction.

Health Minister Dustin Duncan says the unit won't leave the province, although it could be moved to Regina or Saskatoon.

The pressurized oxygen chamber can be used to treat carbon monoxide poisoning and help heal wounds.
