Thee concerns include poor staffing levels, and an inappropriate skill-mix, resulting in a lack of quality of care for residents of St. Raphael's.

The long standing concerns of our members, with regard to the needs of service users, are not being addressed. Our members, as registered professionals, have an obligation to speak out for their clients and this meeting is the beginning of that process. Our members must advocate for those who cannot speak up for themselves."
