Newfoundland and Labrador's health minister has extended a warning to health-care managers that they could be sacked if they are unable to meet the new accountability standards.

Dr. Nash Denic is reported to resign Wednesday as the director of laboratory services at Eastern Health, after authority CEO Vickie Kaminski revealed that officials within the organization posed sluggishness to aware their senior managers to problems with cyclosporine testing.

Health Minister Jerome Kennedy said Wednesday, after Eastern Health announced quoted that he is disturbed not only because of the issues with testing quality, but also due to the fact that staff failed to alert managers to lab errors.

"If people have not learned the lessons, then they are either going to have to move on or be moved on," Kennedy added.

Kennedy extended extreme unacceptability to the revelations, given the findings of an inquiry headed by Justice Margaret Cameron into flawed hormone receptor testing involving hundreds of breast cancer tests.

Kennedy wants the managers across the health-care system the need to realize there is a new standard in place for accountability.
