HOSPITALS FACE RN • SHORTAGE -
Hospitals in Ontario are facing a shor-
tage of registered nurses which will have
an effect 'on their operations during the
coining years, Norman Hayes, ad-
ministrator of Wingham and 'District
Hospital, believes. „
He expects the problem to become in-
creasingly acute over the .neat three to
five years, leading to sharply higher nur-
sing salaries and possible curtailment of
hospital services.
So far this hospital hasn't been troubl,
ed too badly, but it will start to feel the
pinch during the summer when many of
the full time staff take holidays he said,
since it is getting more and more difficult
to find qualified relief nurses.
