I meant to suggest that more doctors/nurses may lead to a healthier, more productive labour force throughout the province (not just in the public sector).
My broader point is in this: economic down turns can be a good time for the government to invest in the province (most here to seem to agree with this basic proposition). The costs/benefits of all such investments, whether in physical or human capital, ought to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
