Delay in hiring nurses `a step backward'
Oct 23, 2008 04:30 AM
Palliative care nurse Catherine Mayers heard Premier Dalton McGuinty say the Liberal government would deliver on a promise to hire 9,000 nurses to help shore up the health system last April when he spoke to an annual meeting of nurses.
Now that promise, along with the rollout of an additional 50 family health teams, is on hold because of shrinking government revenues and a fiscal crisis that has forced the Ontario government to run a $500 million budget deficit this year.
No more trying to please everyone
