December 2, 2016
A doctor from Ontario and a former health region CEO from Saskatchewan will lead an independent review into how four babies were switched at birth in two incidents at the Norway House Hospital in the 1970s, Health Canada announce Nov. 24.
Dr. David Creery, a pediatric intensive care physician and the medical director of patient safety at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, as well as an investigating coroner for the City of Ottawa, will oversee the review with Maura Davies, former president and CEO of the Saskatoon Health Region. They will be assisted by Dr. Calvin James Bergen, the family doctor of two of the men who did not leave the hospital with their biological families. The review will include examination of hospital records and contact with people involved in the hospital at the time of the incidents. It is intended to clarify the circumstances of the cases and is expected to be completed by early 2017.
