RE:RE:What if … Here's the thing I don't understand about the proposed bill: Private temp staffing solutions exist precisely because of gaps in the public healthcare system. These healthcare workers in the private sector are a small fraction of the total healthcare workers in the province and presumably work there in preference over the public for various personal reasons. A large majority of them, when surveyed, would leave the profession rather than return to the public sector.
So eliminating private staffing solutions doesn't seem to achieve anything other than exacerbate the current gaps in the public system. If they want to decrease the use of private staffing agencies, I would have thought that they would focus on improving the public system to make it more attractive to the necessary workers.
Who knows of course what ultimately happens with the bill, but I don't understand how they would implement it without creating problems in the healthcare system.
