Health Minister John Dornan said Woodstock-based eVisitNB will continue to provide virtual health-care services to New Brunswickers for another 90 days after March 31.
Last month, the province announced that eVisitNB’s contract wouldn’t be renewed and instead a new company would take over the service.
Foundever, a Luxembourg-based company who operates the province’s 811 Telecare service, is supposed to take over by April 1.
Dornan told reporters on Tuesday the company is not ready.
