Sask. Party Closes Doors on Regina Urgent Care Centre

Promise of 24/7 staffing broken just three weeks into Sask. Party’s new term

REGINA – Just three weeks into their new term, the Sask. Party has broken a flagship election promise by failing to get the Regina Urgent Care Centre running 24/7.

“This is the same old Sask. Party playbook from the same old Sask. Party,” said Meara Conway, Saskatchewan NDP Shadow Minister for Rural and Remote Health. “They say one thing before the election and then do another.

“Like many residents of this city, I’m very disappointed but not surprised that the Sask. Party can’t get this facility fully staffed up. This government isn’t listening to healthcare workers and is driving them out of the province in droves.”

Construction on the Urgent Care Centre was finished in April, and the Sask. Party initially promised it would open 24/7 during the summer once staff were hired and trained.

Right before the election, the date was pushed back to the fall, and now the Sask. Party is refusing to say when — or even if — the centre will ever be fully staffed up and offer around-the-clock care.

Job postings on SaskDocs reveal that the centre is still not staffed up. There are many unfilled positions for specialists, family doctors, and in emergency medicine.

After 17 years of the Sask. Party, Saskatchewan is ranked last in Canada for emergency room wait times and last for healthcare worker retention.
