Gregory Flowers of Hopedale, is the Minister of Health & Social Development of Nunatsiavut Government.

He says it is becoming more and more difficult to fill the shoes of more senior interpreters.

Minister Flowers says there seem to be less interpreters available. And one of the factors, Flowers thinks, is that the young people are not able to provide the service because of Inuktitut language loss.

Anyone needing a medical interpreter can contact the liaison worker at the hospital in Happy Valley-Goose Bay or the Dept. Of Health and Social Development in their home communities.

This on-going problem will have to be brought to the attention of the Executive Council of Nunatsiavut.
