Healthcare in Sask is a literal disaster zone. RUH ER has permanent hallway beds, Regina’s UCC often on bypass, all RGH in code orange- In Sask this signifies a mass casualty event or external disaster requiring a rapid& expanded emergency response.Urgent action is needed #skpoli.

Regina General Hospital in real time. It's getting worse. When did we forget there are people - patients, families - at the end of this chaos? Registered nurses certainly didn't. We again ask gov to act. Work with nurses. Lean on our frontline knowledge. Right this ship. #skpoli

“Good morning.The rural facilities are really struggling. This up coming Monday (Feb 17th). Porcupine Plain & Tisdale Hospital will both be on ER bypass. So if you are from Weekes, SK, you will have to drive past two closed ERs to get to Melfort 138km away for heathcare.” #skppli
