安大略省在2029年之前推动普及初级保健,但因工资低而使工作人员短缺,从而威胁着这种努力。 Ontario’s push for universal primary care by 2029 is threatened by staff shortages due to low pay.

安大略省的家庭保健队警告说,由于人员配置危机恶化,该省在2029年之前使所有居民获得初级保健的目标面临风险。 Ontario’s family health teams are warning that the province’s goal of connecting all residents to primary care by 2029 is at risk due to a worsening staffing crisis. 尽管政府进行了投资,但护士、护士从业者和其他保健工作者的工资跟不上通货膨胀或医院工资,导致许多人离开去承担薪酬更高的工作,特别是在农村和北部地区。 Despite government investments, pay for nurses, nurse practitioners, and other health workers has not kept pace with inflation or hospital wages, leading many to leave for better-paying roles, especially in rural and northern areas. 安大略家庭保健队协会敦促在五年内提供4.3亿加元,以缩小工资差距,并释放1.15亿加元的承付资金,同时强调,如果没有稳定的人员配置和公平补偿,及时获得全面护理的机会仍将有限。 The Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario is urging $430 million over five years to close the wage gap and release $115 million in committed funding, stressing that without stable staffing and fair compensation, access to timely, comprehensive care will remain limited.
