Quebec has hired 15 nurses and 8 beneficiary attendants for its new “public flying team”, which must help hospitals in regions in difficulty. A first nurse was dispatched to the North Shore on Tuesday.

According to the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MSSS), more than 120 interviews are “planned in the coming days” in order to recruit more nurses and beneficiary attendants within this floating team.

So far, only one nurse has been deployed to the field. The CISSS de la Côte-Nord refuses to reveal which hospital he works in.

According to the MSSS, the people hired will be dispatched “gradually” to the North Shore, Abitibi-Témiscamingue and Outaouais. “Needs from one region to another vary greatly from day to day,” writes the ministry. In doing so, the data is scalable. »

Quebec is currently analyzing “more than 500 curriculum vitae.”
