The Restigouche Psychiatric Hospital has been developed as a tool for economic development over the protests of the Autism Society New Brunswick, parent autism advocates and UNB Professor Emeritus (Paul McDonnell) for over 15 years. It lacks the Psychiatric Expertise of Moncton and the Autism Expertise of Fredericton. In Campbellton with a declining population (11,000 to 6000) It is as far as possible from the large population in South NB - Fredericton, Moncton, Woodstock and Saint John and its abuse and failure to protect has been recently documented by the Ombud Report "Failure to Protect".
The Resitigouche PH is a clear contravention of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to which Canada is a signatory. yet the Weber Report not released to the general public was tasked with finding ways to keep it.
Close the Restigouche PH and Close it NOW!
