    The union representing nurses at The Ottawa Hospital says it has been told 190 positions, or about five per cent of the institution’s total nursing staff, will be eliminated.

    Union officials said the hospital has formally informed them Thursday that 70 nursing jobs will be cut, and another 120 job vacancies will remain unfilled.

    The union characterized the cuts as the largest to date by an Ontario hospital.

    “This is as big as it gets in Ontario that I’ve seen in the last six months,” said Linda Haslam-Stroud, president of the Ontario Nurses Association, which represents the hospital’s 3,900 registered nurses.

    Haslam-Stroud said the cuts amount to about 300,000 hours of lost nursing care to patients, who will inevitably face ever longer delays for emergency care and elective surgery.
