People with non-urgent medical needs may experience longer waits in the emergency department at Saanich Peninsula Hospital due to overnight staffing shortages, Island Health said Saturday.
People with non-urgent medical needs may be given the option to return home and come back in the morning, said an advisory issued at 4 p.m. Saturday.People in need of emergency care should always call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department, the advisory said. Confidential health information and advice from a registered nurse is available toll free, 24/7 by calling HealthLink BC at 811.
The emergency department will continue to provide emergency care to those who need it, said Island Health. Inpatient care in all other units at Saanich Peninsula Hospital is not affected by this temporary adjustment. The hospital has been “scraping by month to month” since last fall, with last-minute coverage by a dwindling staff of physicians working more shifts, out-of-province emergency physicians flying in for short periods, or non-emergency-certified family physicians filling in.
