Expanded Role For Nurses Sought


An Ontario nurses union believes it has a solution to saving the health care system money and improving care for patients.

The Registered Nurses Association of Ontario wants nurses to be more involved in primary care.

CEO Doris Grinspun says nurses talents aren't being fully utilized now.

The recommendation for a stronger role for nurses in primary care comes out of an Association task force's draft report that will be forwarded later to government.
