Paul Pike backs current care system for kids with complex needs as 'best model' for N.L.

Update: 2024-06-19

Description

There's a big jump in how much it's costing the province to care for kids with complex issues. Private companies and organizations were paid nearly 90 million dollars last year to take care of 225 children and youth. And questions have been raised about whether there are better ways to be doing things. Minister Paul Pike declined to do an interview for that story, but our CBC Investigates producer Rob Antle managed to track him down on Tuesday morning, at an unrelated event, and asked him some questions.
