The family of a Nova Scotia woman who died in hospital in Amherst after waiting hours for care on December 31st is calling for immediate action to address the provincial health care crisis.

Independent MLA Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin says Allison ``Ali'' Leah Holthoff had to wait hours for care at the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre's emergency department despite showing signs of medical distress.

The MLA from Cumberland North has sent a letter to Premier Tim Houston asking for assistance in urgently implementing a plan to help ensure safe and timely care for people living in the area.

Nova Scotia Health says in an email to CTV News that it's conducting an investigation to determine what exactly happened to Holthoff and the results will be shared with her family when it's complete.
