Is Alberta health care at risk?
The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE) is warning Albertans about the province’s health care system.
AUPE says hospitals are operating at 102 per cent capacity; the infrastructure is crumbling, and the working conditions are unsafe. AUPE President Sandra Azocar says government inaction puts Albertans at risk, with front-line health care workers, including doctors, raising the alarm.
Azocar says, AUPE is also calling on the Alberta government to: Invest in public health care infrastructure and increase staffing levels among others.
