Let me be clear: our seniors are not the problem, the system is the problem. Our hospitals are not nursing homes… I hope Government will soon assemble all stakeholders to consider the issue from a system perspective.” The summer months have been relatively quiet on the issue of hospital congestion. However, this should be no cause for celebration that we have slayed the dragon, or delayed, in any significant manner, the pressures we will face in keeping our hospitals focused on acute care. There are enormous numbers of citizens who now, or will soon, require more care at home or in the community. Summer is a natural ebb of a tide that has already begun to turn to flow in September within our facilities. A few weeks ago, late in the week, The Moncton Hospital was in full divert stage that, thankfully and with hard work by staff, turned itself around by the weekend. We still have 25% of our approximately 1,600 beds occupied by patients awaiting placement – a very high proportion of which require services equivalent to nursing home care.
