St. John's (CP)
The Federal Government announced today that it would be implementing an emergency action plan to assist Newfoundland's Health Care community stricken by the malfunction of the province's only MRI Machine.

The Health Minister announced today that the commander in charge of keeping Canada's aging fleet of Sea King helicopters aloft, would now be responsible for maintanance on the troubled MRI unit.

"If they can keep those choppers up in the air, then they should be able to work miracles with the MRI as well." said a spokesperson.

Ironically, the MRI unit was initially damaged when dropped upside down on the deck of the HMCS Halifax by a faulty Sea King helicopter during delivery.

The maintanance team is expected to be in place by today.
