We could hear this week when the Emergency Department in Perth will re-open after being closed due to COVID-19 cases and a critical staffing shortage.
Its happening across the country.
Today and tomorrow a group representing ER doctors from across Canada will demand the provincial premiers come up with a coordinated plan to the closures in the future.
The call it an unprecedented crisis in health care.
The staffing crisis has mean the closure of departments and suspension of services across the country. Others are reducing hours, without any choice.
Labour shortages have increased thanks to workers leaving hospital roles or the profession altogether after dealing with two difficult years of the pandemic.
