Story by Scott Miller, CTV London  More than 1,000 times this year, an Ontario hospital emergency department or urgent care centre closed its doors because there weren’t enough nurses to fill shifts. “Our hospital emergency rooms are the safety net of our healthcare system, and 1,199 times in Ontario in the last year, they were closed. This is horrifying,” said NDP health critic, France Gelinas, outside Queen’s Park on Tuesday.
