Union leaders, like veteran nurse Douglas Currier, warn these cuts cripple patient care in an already overstretched system, while hospital management insists it’s returning to pre-pandemic staffing levels. But advocates point to chronic underfunding by the provincial government as the real culprit — and question whether these cuts signal a dangerous decline in healthcare quality across Ottawa.
