“We have said the problem is a hospital problem. We have engaged positively with hospitals to mitigate . Today we are extracting what is the province’s or the hospitals’ responsibility and saying the 17 we are asking for truly belong to the province,” said Poirier. “We are asking: Please pay your share.”

Poirier said the dedicated offload nurses program is reaching the point of reduced returns because staffing shortages.
