The senior staff members of the largest health authority in Newfoundland and Labrador are told to resign by the Eastern health CEO Vickie Kaminski due to an uproar over testing errors involving the immunosuppressant drug cyclosporine.

A resigning manager was told to quit by Kaminski and two more physicians resigned from their posts, this Friday, but she insists more internal fallout at the authority. The health authority is leaving no stone unturned to bring back the confidence of public in its laboratory tests as well as clinical services.

Dr. Nash Denic's will be resigning as laboratory chief earlier this week. Though, he wanted to resign in December due to workload issues. He stated that he has been made a scapegoat by Eastern Health and by Health Minister Jerome Kennedy.

While announcing Denic's resignation, Kennedy warned senior managers that they could be the next in line for moving out of the job.

On the other side, Kaminski told reporters Friday afternoon that Denic was not satisfied supervising the authority’s labs and was facing problems in managing the same.

Kaminski said,” I would not be surprised to see more of this type of action in the ensuing days”.
