An expensive,
unsustainable system
An expensive,
unsustainable system
In an attempt to fill in the cracks in our healthcare system, over $1.9 billion has been spent on private nurses across Canada in the last year ($1 billion of that in Ontario alone). It’s an unsustainable fix and a massive drain of taxpayer dollars. And it’s money that we’re not investing in building a sustainable, in-house workforce.
Unprecedented
staffing challenges
Unprecedented
staffing challenges
By 2030, the Canadian Nurses Association projects a shortage of 60,000 nurses, and vacancy rates for PSWs in Ontario are among the highest in Canada.
Add in burnout, inconsistent hours, and a lack of growth opportunities, and it’s clear to see why long term care residences are struggling to attract and retain qualified workers.
“Governments, unions and employers are stronger when working together. Our government is proud to support SEIU as they invest in Ontario’s skilled, world-class workers.”
