A statement from the health authority says the closures will continue every night until Sept. 4 at the 85-bed Saanich Peninsula Hospital
Island Health says a lack of staff has forced it to begin overnight closures of the emergency room at a small Victoria-area hospital.
The statement says the closures will continue every night until Sept. 4 at the 85-bed hospital just south of Sidney. Estimates from Island Health show an average of 11 people visit the Saanich Peninsula emergency room overnight and two people arrive by ambulance. Marko Peljhan, Island Health vice-president of clinical services for central and southern Vancouver Island says no other in-patient services at the hospital will be affected.
