There will be yet another service disruption at the Shaunavon Hospital on Tuesday night.

From 7:00pm Tuesday evening to 7:30am Wednesday morning, emergency outpatient service and acute admissions will be unavailable due to the shortage of available registered nurses.

Anyone in the Shaunavon area needing emergency care during that time are asked to call 9-1-1 or use the facilities in Maple Creek or Swift Current.

The hospital also had to close its doors overnight on Monday and on three occasions last week.Similar staffing issues forced another closer last August as well.
