WINNIPEG — Hundreds of nurses are being told that their positions are being “deleted” due to major changes at Winnipeg hospitals. The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority has outlined its plans to handle staff when it changes two emergency departments to urgent care centres and completely closes a third. Mowat says it doesn’t mean they are being laid off and the health authority has said all affected nurses will still have a job. She says nurses are concerned that the changes will cause disruption to patients and also are worried over the uncertainty about the new positions. She said doctors are already being asked to do more with less and to take on a heavier administrative burden.
