The provincial NDP has released a leaked Saskatchewan Health Authority dashboard.

It shows that on April 25th, both Royal University Hospital and St. Paul’s Hospital were listed on bypass—along with health-care facilities in Yorkton and Swift Current. The bypass status means sick patients were being turned away.

The NDP says the dashboard also reveals numerous hospitals running short-staffed or experiencing bed and ventilator shortages.
