SHA unclear when 24/7 staffing of Regina Urgent Care Centre will happen [Video]

Regina Urgent Care Centre (UCC) continues to operate at a reduced schedule — leading to the Saskatchewan NDP claiming an election promise has already been broken.

The new facility, which officially opened on July 2, has been operating from 8 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., seven days a week.

It was expected that the facility would begin operating on a 24/7 schedule beginning in the fall.

Now, more than halfway through November, the NDP says the Saskatchewan Party has failed to fulfill its promise.

“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,” NDP Shadow Minister for Rural and Remote Health Meara Conway told reporters Monday.

“This government isn’t listening to healthcare workers and is driving them out of the province in droves.”
