ONA Speaks Out Against Job Cuts

The Ontario Nurses' Association wants a immediate moratorium on nursing cuts in the province.

The ONA says this year alone has seen more than 11-hundred front line nurses cut across Ontario.

President Linda Haslam-Stroud says as the number of registered nurses declines, so does the quality of care.

A report from the Canadian Institute for Health Information shows Ontario with the second-lowest ratio of registered nurses to population in the country.
