Government of Ontario – ER closures

Ontario Government is saying that they would be investing 57.6 million, over the next 3 years to recruit and retain up to 225 additional nurses in the long term care sector, through the new Hiring More Nurse Practitioners (HMNP) for long term care program.

However, on the other hands Ontario Nurses Association is complaining ER closures every day. “This past summer, ER closures across the province made it clear to Ontarians just how serious the had become. Though they might not be making front-page news, these closures are STILL affecting hospitals across Ontario”, they said on there Facebook page.
