EDMONTON — The Alberta government says it has ended the emergency directive calling for some patients in Edmonton hospitals to be treated in hallways.

The order had been enacted earlier in the week to reduce pressure on emergency departments while Alberta Health Services worked to place some patients in other hospitals or care facilities.

Wood said the surge came as it was dealing with high demand following a long weekend coupled with staffing shortages and higher numbers of patients due to COVID-19. “Under the current government, we’ve seen a significant crisis and it just can’t continue,” Hoffman told reporters. “We’re already beyond the brink right now in early August, which is supposed to be one of the more quiet times in terms of hospital emergency care,” she said.Hoffman urged Albertans to elect an NDP government in the 2023 election as a way to fix the mess.“The strains are similar in every province regardless of political stripe,” said Buick in an email.Article content
