A Health Science Centre nurse is speaking out about patient gridlock in the emergency room. Alana Bishop wrote a letter suggesting ways the hospital might be able to free up 52 beds by creating a facility that would deal solely with mental health, alcohol and drug addiction cases. Bishop says she's disappointed she didn't receive a response to her ideas from the Health Minister. Bishop thinks the former Lakehead Psychiatric Hospital could serve as a Mental health centre and has brought the idea up with St. Joseph's Care Group as well.
