Extended hours will help 'alleviate pressure on emergency departments,' says Nadia Surani, director of the primary health care branch in the Ministry of Health
TORONTO — Ontario has asked thousands of family health-care workers to work evenings and weekends to help ease the burden on overwhelmed children's hospitals, a government memo obtained by The Canadian Press shows.
"This scenario is contributing to pressures on our health-care system, particularly in the pediatric sector, and we are expecting high-volume pressures across our health system now and through the winter," Surani wrote. Many clinics across the province already offer extended hours to deal with the onslaught of patients with respiratory illnesses, the Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario said in a note to its members.
Their clinic is already working extended hours, she said, and it's been two-and-a-half years of flat-out work. A spokeswoman for Health Minister Sylvia Jones said the government is grateful to health-care workers in their "all hands on deck" approach to deal with the current surge of respiratory illnesses.
