The number of health care providers choosing to work in long-term care in Canada is shrinking, according to a new report that highlights a growing reliance on private nursing agencies and use of overtime to fill gaps.The analysis, released on Thursday by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), shows there were fewer health care workers in long-term care in 2023, when compared with pre-pandemic levels. This includes decreases in two of the largest professions working in the sector – registered nurses and licensed practical nurses.
