flag Saskatchewan begins daily emergency service disruption updates starting Nov. 1, replacing outdated reporting.

flag Starting early November, the Saskatchewan Health Authority will provide daily updates at 4 p.m. CST listing all emergency service disruptions, including short-term closures, on its website. flag The change, prompted by public frustration over delayed or inconsistent notifications—especially in rural areas—replaces a previous system that only reported disruptions lasting seven days or more. flag The updates will include an alphabetical list of affected facilities and real-time information via Healthline 811. flag While the province cites staffing shortages, absences, and facility upgrades as common causes, critics, including NDP health critic Jared Clarke, argue the daily updates fall short, pushing for one-hour closure alerts through a new private member’s bill. flag The government also confirmed it will discontinue the flawed AIMS scheduling system and revert to the prior system by November 30.
