Manitoba hires hundreds of health-care workers, on track to meet target: Kinew

Staff vacancy levels in Manitoba's health-care system are starting to stabilize, Premier Wab Kinew says, as the province fills hundreds of positions, bringing Manitoba closer toward its goal of hiring 1,000 health-care workers. Last spring, the NDP government pledged $310 million from its budget toward its goal of hiring 1,000 health-care workers after subtracting the number of staff who've left. Halfway through the year, the province said it had staffed 873 net new positions, which includes 304 nurses, 290 health-care aides and 116 physicians to Manitoba's public health-care system. "While we haven't hit our goal of completely fixing health care, the early steps that we're taking are showing results," Kinew said at a news conference Thursday. "We're keeping our word to you … but there's still a lot more work to be done." The province had initially set its target to fill 1,000 positions with 100 doctors, 210 nurses, 90 paramedics and 600 care aides. For more on the story: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manito...
