Two more senior lab officials in N.L. resign amid testing errors

ST. JOHN'S, N.L. - Two more senior laboratory officials have resigned their posts with Newfoundland's largest health authority following the disclosure of drug testing errors.

The CEO of Eastern Health, Vickie Kaminski, confirms the resignations of two site chiefs in laboratory medicine are in addition to the resignation Wednesday of the board's chief of laboratory medicine, Nash Denic.

Kaminski issued a statement saying the site chiefs worked at St. Clare's Hospital and the General Hospital.

While they have lost their leadership roles, they remain employees of Eastern Health.

Spokeswoman Deborah Collins declined to release further details.

Denic's departure came a day after Eastern Health released the findings of an internal review that concluded senior executives were not informed in a timely manner that there were problems in the lab.
