Dear Editor,

Bravo to the support staff of our medical facilities in Quebec for recently and publicly voicing their concerns with CISSSO’s administration.
Recently many healthcare support employees displayed, for the media and general public, placards describing their grievances with a health system that seems to be asking too much of its workers while providing too little to its patients.

By protesting chronic understaffing and poor working conditions in our healthcare facilities, our support staff workers have drawn the public’s attention once again to the many inadequacies that permeate the Quebec healthcare system.
We are at an opportune timeframe to advance the cause of healthcare service delivery, with a provincial election set for Oct. 1 of this year. I hope to see all parties in Quebec investing considerable amounts of their own resources to examine health policy and service delivery.
