Patrick Brown Brings Windsor Nurses Fight to Queen’s Park

QUEEN’S PARK – Following a visit to Windsor to meet with local nurses, Leader of the Official Opposition Patrick Brown used today’s Question Period to ask the Premier why her Government continues to cut nursing positions.

 

“While the government has been busy attending secret $6,000 dinners, I have been touring hospitals and meeting with frontline workers across the province,” said Brown. “I was told firsthand the impact this government’s mismanagement has had in Windsor. 120 nurses are gone because of this government, and $20-million to Windsor General has been cut by this government.”

Windsor Regional Hospital faces a $20-million budget shortfall, and as a result the hospital is eliminating 120 nursing positions. For the past four years, the Windsor Regional Hospital was faced with frozen hospital budgets, and the most recent budget only included a negligible increase in investment.

“I didn’t charge the Windsor nurses to tell me this. Will the nurses in Windsor have to buy a $6,000 dinner for the Premier to listen to the impact her government’s cuts are having on them?” Brown concluded.
