Ottawa’s Montfort Hospital was the latest to close its emergency department over the weekend, suggesting the country’s health care staffing crisis is spreading to large urban centres
Ottawa’s Montfort Hospital was among the hospitals across Canada forced to close their emergency departments over the weekend, suggesting the most acute effects of the country’s shortage of nurses are starting to spread beyond smaller communities and into large urban centres.
Katharine Smart, president of the Canadian Medical Association, said the temporary closing of Montfort’s emergency room is proof that staffing shortages are continuing to erode quality of care in Canada. Opinion: Nurse practitioners could relieve Canada’s doctor shortage, but funding models are causing roadblocks
The Ottawa Hospital warned on Saturday that emergency department closings in the region would lead to much longer wait times at its own emergency room, as patients were diverted there.
