The group will report their findings and make recommendations to Health and Wellness minister Leo Glavine.
The decision to form the group was made after an incident at Soldier’s Memorial Hospital illustrated the need for new security measures.
Members of the Nurses Union, the worker’s compensation board, RCMP and the Nova Scotia Health Authority will make up the working group.
Their first meeting is anticipated before the end of October.
