"A re-elected Liberal government will establish a dedicated crown corporation tasked with health professional recruitment, retention, and workforce planning.

This organization will work directly with NLHS, provincial and federal government departments, as well as labour organizations and licensing bodies to address vacancies across all health care disciplines. It will focus on local education and training capacities, international recruitment, credential recognition, and immigration support. Wraparound settlement support will also be coordinated – ensuring housing needs, spousal employment assistance and community integration. This strategy will be informed by the health human resources plan, as well as the core staffing review currently underway."
