Event Information

Begins: 9 August 2023

Location: Oshawa, ON

CUPE/OCHU media conference to reveal statistical trends pointing to an exacerbation of the ongoing crisis in Ontario’s hospital sector, and the number of additional staff and beds required in Durham Region 

OSHAWA, ON —/COMMUNITYWIRE/— A new research report on Ontario’s hospitals staffing and capacity crisis compiles latest data showing a dramatic increase in job vacancy rates, rising number of patients being treated in hallways, and other concerning trends.  

Ontario’s Hospital Crisis: No Capacity, No Plan, No End warns that the current crisis will only worsen over the next four years as pressures on hospitals stemming from an aging and growing population will leave the province well short of the resources needed to meet patient needs.  

CUPE’s Ontario Council of Hospital Union (CUPE/OCHU) will be releasing the findings of the report at a media conference in Oshawa on Wednesday afternoon at 1 p.m. 

The union will reveal the number of additional hospital staff and beds required in Durham Regionover the next four years, contrasting it with the government’s woefully inadequate plan that will lead to a deeper crisis.   

Who:  Michael Hurley, President of OCHU/CUPE and Doug Allan, CUPE Hospital Sector Researcher 

What:  OCHU/CUPE Media Conference to announce findings of the research report “Ontario’s Hospital Crisis: No Capacity, No Plan, No End” 

When:  1 p.m. on Wednesday, August 9 

Where:  Canadian Royal Legion Branch 43, 471 Simcoe St., Oshawa
