Nurses In Ontario to Be Laid Off

 But ... but ... coronavirus!:

The president of the Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA) says it’s “unacceptable” for Ontario hospitals to lay off dozens of registered nurses as the province approaches flu season, a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and a backlog of surgeries.

Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket announced this week that it will reduce 95 positions.


Also - oh, my:

Internal auditors have been called to review mismanagement at Dr. Theresa Tam’s Public Health Agency, officials said yesterday. It follows disclosures the position of Chief Health Surveillance Officer specifically assigned to watch for pandemic outbreaks was “eliminated” three years ago: ‘Surveillance is to improve the health of Canadians.’
