Rural and northern Ontario hospitals are anxiously awaiting word from the provincial government on a program that helps them keep emergency rooms open.

The Temporary Locum Program pays doctors an incentive to fill emergency department shifts with most of those physicians coming from other, more urban parts of the province to help hospitals in more isolated areas.

Ontario Medical Association’s emergency medicine section chair suggested in a recent memo to emergency department leads that staff at several hospitals have been expressing concerns about the current limbo.
