The Agency for Health of Montreal calls on all hospitals on the island of Montreal to reduce overtime of their nurses by half within two years. This recommendation, contained in the Action Plan on the workforce of the Agency, is an attempt to attract and retain employees in the health system.
The Agency urges hospitals to transform overtime worked by nurses in permanent posts. The overtime worked by nurses in hospitals in Montreal are currently 700 posts full-time nurses.
The agency hopes to be able to cope with labor shortages and retirements on the horizon in this sector.
Trade unions, calling such a measure for years, do not ask better than to applaud, but they express some reservations. "If the Agency said that, we are very happy," says president of the Alliance of inter Montreal, Régine Lawrence. "The problem is that the guidelines are fine on paper, but locally, in institutions, this is not what is being done. "
Ms. Lawrence said that such measures have already been adopted, without results. She still hopes that this time will be good for employee health network.
