The Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA) is changing the way healthcare is delivered in our province.
Longer Wait Times: Already struggling to get a doctor’s appointment? HPOA will make it worse. Expect even longer wait times to see a physician as healthcare professionals are burdened with bureaucratic red tape and shortages become more severe.
Closed Clinics and Facilities: Local health facilities and clinics may be forced to close due to a lack of doctors brought about by increased government interference, making it harder for you to access care where and when you need it.
Emergency Room Shutdowns:
Rolling shutdowns of emergency rooms will increase as hospitals struggle to meet the requirements imposed by HPOA, leaving patients in critical need without immediate care.
