The President of the Ontario Nurses Association says she’s waiting for the full impact of bed cuts at Quinte Healthcare on Registered Nursing Positions.
Linda Haslam-Stroud says she doesn’t have any numbers, but says the Q-H-C board decision to reduce beds at the four hospitals will ultimately result in R-N layoffs.
She believes Quinte Health Care is in the top four of all the hospitals in Ontarion in cutting nurses..
Haslam-Stroud says the O-N-A is disappointed with the response of Health Minister David Caplan and Premier McGuinty to its concerns about the loss of nursing jobs across the province.
