Saskatchewan hospital safety review complete, but findings won’t be released yet
The six-month review is now in the health ministry's hands, but Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill says he does not want to expose vulnerabilities until they are addressed.
Saskatchewan’s health minister has announced that the independent safety review of hospitals commissioned by the province earlier this year is now complete, though the findings will not be released publicly until the ministry addresses its recommendations. Jeremy Cockrill, the health minister, stated that there is work to be done between the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) and the Ministry of Health to review some of the immediate pressures identified in the report and to work with facilities to implement them.
The review, conducted by Buckingham Security Services Ltd. under the leadership of Clive Weighill, was announced in January following a string of violent incidents and growing concerns at facilities across the province.
