Physician unavailability at the Herbert and District Integrated Health Facility starting tonight and running until later this week will cause a temporary disruption to emergency outpatient services.

The interruption will begin at 5 p.m. and will go until Thursday night at 8 p.m.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority said in a release "Long-term care services will not be affected by this disruption of services."

Swift Current's Cypress Regional Hospital is the nearest emergency department to Herbert.
