  Manitoba touts health hires, but refuses to reveal departures, vacancies

  The provincial government has announced that 900 health workers have been hired since November 2022, as part of Health Minister Audrey Gordon’s promise to hire 2,000 additional staff. However, the government refuses to say how many workers have left since that time, and how many vacancies remain. In a statement attributed to Gordon Thursday, the province said it had recently hired 82 allied-health providers, 32 physician and clinical assistants, 438 health-care aides, 259 nurses and 73 physicians. It could not provide vacancy data to show how many positions in each of those fields remain unfilled.

  ‘I knew something wasn’t right and I didn’t say anything,’ doctor sex assault trial told

  A woman who says she was sexually assaulted by her family doctor years before he was arrested cried in court Thursday, as she described the guilt she suffers from not coming forward sooner. The woman said her mother phoned her in December 2020, after seeing a news story online that the woman’s former family doctor, Arcel Bissonnette, had been arrested. “I immediately knew what it would be for,” the woman testified. Bissonnette, 63, is on trial accused of sexually assaulting five female patients during medical examinations at the Ste. Anne Hospital and Seine Medical Centre. Court has heard all five women stepped forward after police issued a media notice in November 2020 announcing his arrest on charges involving six other female patients.
