Cockrill says the review is also to examine allegations of racism, but he declined to share details.

Last year, 10 foreign-trained doctors in Regina alleged racism from hospital leadership.

The doctors also filed a complaint with the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission.

Cockrill says the review is to include interviews with management and staff and will provide recommendations.
