Sask. needs to improve health-care hiring plan as 2,200-worker shortage looms: auditor
“We have emergency rooms, we have lab services that aren’t available to the people of Saskatchewan because we don’t have the staff to deliver those services,” Clemett said.
“This is why ERs are not open all of the hours they should be or are closed in totality, because we don’t have registered nurses in various parts of the province.”Clemett made seven recommendations in her report. Among them is a recommendation to “determine the optimal supply of new graduates needed to help address staffing shortfalls.”
“Sometimes the government’s paying for training out of the province. They don’t actually know if those people are coming back to Saskatchewan,” Clemett said. “With staff exit interviews, they don’t know why people are leaving and if there’s something they can be doing better to keep them here.”“Are there housing options? Is there spousal employment that can be provided?” Clemett asked.“The focus can’t just be about getting more people into Saskatchewan. It’s about retaining the current workforce the Authority has as well.
