The South Bruce Grey Health Centre announced yesterday that the Chesley Hospital Emergency Department will be returning to 24 hour service beginning June 15th.

The decision follows a similar move at the Walkerton Emergency Department back on May 8th.

At that time 8 acute beds returned to the Chesley Hospital In-Patient Unit with the stability of staffing being closely monitored.

The Centre says the resumption of around the clock service in Chesley and Walkerton is thanks to the staff dedication and support, the use of casual and agency nurses, externs and registered midwives.

They do advise that there is a chance of a future time-limited reduction in service if future staffing issues arise.
