Histoire de la promesse

L’équipe du Polimètre reconnaît que la crise du COVID-19 a exercé une pression sans précédent sur le système de santé. Néanmoins, cette promesse est considérée comme brisée car de nombreux hôpitaux de la province ont été remplis au-delà de leur capacité entre novembre 2019 et janvier 2020, avant le début de la pandémie. Certaines infirmières ont également déclaré que les pénuries de personnel exacerbent la médecine de couloir dans la province.
“Premier Doug Ford and Health Minister Christine Elliott will meet next week with Ontario nurses to talk about staff shortages. The meeting with Cathryn Hoy, provincial president of the Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA), is set for Feb. 3. A date was set on Tuesday after the ONA said on Twitter that the Ontario government turned down a request for a meeting on Monday. […] Hoy said she would like to talk about the nursing shortage in Ontario because it is now acute. The meeting comes as the pandemic accelerates a longstanding trend of nurses leaving the province or leaving the profession altogether due to a number of factors. ‘The numbers are dwindling every single day. And it’s very frustrating that the government isn’t stepping up and wanting to do something about it. It’s not going to be fixed overnight. It’s not. But if we work together, we could come up with some solutions,’ said Hoy, whose organization represents 68,000 nurses and health-care professionals and 18,000 nursing student affiliates. ‘I talk to nurses every day that are saying, ‘I’m retiring, I’m quitting, I’m going to another career.’ We’re in trouble. I have never seen the situation so dire,’ she said. ‘It’s past the critical point.’ “

“The data suggests many hospitals have returned to the overcrowding levels seen before the pandemic, when CBC News revealed hospitals filled beyond capacity nearly every single day, with patients housed in hallways, conference rooms and cafeterias not as exceptional cases, but as a matter of routine. […] The figures show that last winter, despite the government’s promise to end so-called ‘hallway health care,’ acute care occupancy rates hit unprecedented levels, with many hospitals filled beyond capacity for weeks.”

Why Ontario hospitals are full to bursting, despite few COVID-19 patients
22-janv.-2020
“Overcrowding has become so common in Ontario hospitals that patient beds are now placed in hallways and conference rooms not only at times of peak demand, but routinely day after day, research by CBC News reveals. […] [Health Minister Christine] Elliott admitted it will take ‘several years’ to achieve Ford’s promise of ending hallway health care.”
