NEW MEMO SHOWS SASK. PARTY FAILURES AT MANAGING SINGLE URGENT CARE CENTRE

October Saw Only 37% of Emergency Medicine Shifts Filled
REGINA – Despite promising that Regina’s Urgent Care Centre would be open 24/7, documents obtained by the Saskatchewan NDP reveal that in October the SHA was only able to cover 22 out of 60 shifts.

The document entitled “Regina Urgent Care Centre October 2025 Schedule” reveals that the Saskatchewan Health Authority is able to track when a disruption is anticipated weeks and months in advance.

“Once again, we have the Sask. Party hiding critical health information from the people of this province in an attempt to mask their failures,” said Jared Clarke Shadow Minister of Rural and Remote Health.

“This is information that could be used to support the people of Regina, who were lied to about having a 24/7 Urgent Care Centre. We also now know that despite the boasts and brags of Scott Moe and Jeremy Cockrill, they’ve failed to staff at least two thirds of the emergency medicine shifts at this center as recently as last fall.

“This government can’t staff the one urgent care centre in Regina, how do they think they could possible staff a second one?”

The document shows that the number of physicians hours worked by emergency medicine personnel has fallen by around 300 hours between July 2024 and September 2025.

“These numbers show that once again the Sask. Party will put public relations ahead of the healthcare of the people of Saskatchewan.” said Clarke.

“There is no data they won’t hide, and no crisis they won’t ignore. Scott Moe had to be shamed into giving rural residents the bare minimum of information when it comes to whether emergency rooms are open or closed, and now they’ve been knowingly hiding when the Urgent Care Centre will see its hours cut.”

The document also states that since opening “the UCC has been challenged to fill all shifts, particularly on weekends and statutory holidays.” It also stated that in October, “it is anticipated that very few if any additional EM shits will be picked up.”

“This is yet another broken Sask. Party healthcare promise, that is leaving families in need of urgent care behind,” said Clarke.

In April when asked if he was concerned about staffing future urgent care centers, Jeremy Cockrill said “No.”
“Scott Moe and Jeremy Cockrill have failed the people of Regina and tried to hide that failure,” said Clarke. “Clearly it's time for change.”
