flag Nurses dispute flu claim, say systemic issues cause Royal University Hospital overcrowding.

flag The Saskatchewan Union of Nurses disputes the provincial health authority's claim that seasonal flu is causing hospital overcrowding at Royal University Hospital, calling it a cover for deeper systemic issues. flag Union president Bryce Boynton labeled the government’s plan to add 109 acute care beds as ineffective, noting many are repurposed spaces. flag Nurses reported using hallway areas routinely, even giving them unofficial names like “E pod” and “F pod.” The Opposition NDP urged Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill to visit the hospital, demanding more staff and better facilities. flag The health authority maintains that emergency wait times have improved and points to $460 million in funding and new hires as evidence of progress.
