Update
April 8, 2010—An Independent Assessment Committee (IAC) report on concerns expressed by registered nurses at Cassellholme Home for the Aged in North Bay has been released.
A panel of three experts conducted a hearing into the concerns of the RNs in early February. After considering the evidence, the IAC concluded that the current organization structure, corporate culture and role responsibilities of staff within the Clinical Services Department do not support effective use of the RNs.
The IAC made 25 recommendations to improve the ability of RNs to provide safe, quality care to Cassellholme residents.
