Nurses must be transferred to new roles to deal with staffing gaps, province says

Some nurses will be asked to go to different parts of the health system, according to the premiere, in the dialect to address the issues with the hospital waiting and primary care access.

Premier Susan Holt said that regional health officials have made similar changes before -especially, during the Kovid -19 epidemic.

This time, he said, this is being done to address long-standing issues, keeping in mind the 12-hour waiting in emergency rooms as an example.

Holt said, “We need different results in health. New BRARSCTERS is demanding that they get timely access to care, that they get primary care that they need.”

“The way we have always done things, it is not going to achieve better results for New Breanswicks.”

Holt did not have complete details about the number of people who would be affected by change, or in special areas that could see less employees, but they said that they are aware of the discussion in public health nurses and St. John Regional Hospital.

The Vitalite Health Network did not respond to the request for more information on Friday.

Chairman and CEO Margaret Melanasan, President of Horizon Health Network, sent a statement, which did not confirm the reconstruction of resources and was not said which staff members would be affected.

The statement said, “We are committed to continuous improvement and ongoing organizational change, ensuring that the right provider is at the right place at the right time, which is at the right time to provide the best access and care experience.”

“At any time considers the horizon roles or changes in the creation of the team, we (AN) make every effort to match opportunities with the scope of the person’s skill and practice and ensure the ensure necessary education and training to succeed in those roles. We also respect collective agreements in these processes.”

But official opposition leader Glenn Savoi said that he has been heard from nurses in many parts of the system, which has been reported that he would have to work in a separate field.

“I would argue that there are a lot of registered nurses in public health, community health, mental health, all are being affected. Additional, all these different aspects,” said Savoi.

“We have no large number of numbers yet, but we are continuing investigation to understand and understand its scope.”

Savoi said that the government has failed to communicate with the workers in the system before making a change. He said the same Education is being talked with employees.

“They should have talked with registered nurses, they should talk with those who are working, and say,” How do we get for a plan where we can make these changes? ” They are not doing so, “he said.

“The same thing with teachers. They are cuts that are affecting the classroom and they will not accept it. They are cut here that are affecting health care and they will not accept it.”

Savoi said that he has been heard from nurses who said that they were told that if they do not go in a new role, they would be closed.

But Health Minister John Dornan said that no one is called the “redistribution” of resources, resulting in no one will be closed.

“Health care often involves a redistribution,” Dornon said in the question period on Friday. “One of the things we are proud of is that we are not closing our nurses. There is always a role for them in different areas of our hospital.”

Paula Docket, president of the New Breanswick Nurse Union, was not available for an interview on Friday.

In a statement, spokesperson Elix Shaonier said the Sangh would wait for more information before commenting.

“We have not been officially informed about any workforce adjustment,” the Xunier wrote. “When the workforce is adjusted, a process is followed.”
