EDMONTON – Alberta’s Opposition health critic is sounding the alarm on hospital bed closures in the province during the summer due to staffing shortages.
NDP member of the legislature David Shepherd says he estimates that about 12 communities have been affected and as many as 99 beds have been temporarily closed.
He is urging Health Minister Tyler Shandro to make clear why it is happening and what other communities are at risk of bed closures.
Earlier in the day, Shandro said the government was anticipating some staff shortages in the summer because of vacations.
