Premier John Hogan says better communication would’ve prevented the headaches and stress associated with a memo from the health authority to staff this week. The NLHS “guidelines” were distributed on Thursday, specifying date ranges in the new year when staff cannot take time off, with the typical exceptions. Officials said the move was necessary to complete training in advance of the new CorCare interactive online patient system going live next April. But it appears neither NAPE nor the nurses’ union was consulted, causing an immediate uproar, and reversal of the decision within hours of it being made. “You know, consultation is the most important thing and communication is the most important thing,” he said.
