While its online systems have returned after an hours-long outage caused by earlier gusty winds, Toronto’s University Health Network warns patients they may still experience delays with care for the rest of the day.

 

 

UHN says it has backlogs that need to be cleared at Toronto General Hospital, Toronto Western Hospital, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and the Toronto Rehab Institute.

The network’s physician-in-chief, Dr. Kathryn Tinckam says patients have been contacted directly about any changes to their care.

”Patients with early-to-mid-morning appointments, have certainly experienced some delays in their care and in some very few cases, we’ve had to actually postpone some procedures out of an abundance of caution,” adds the doctor.

”The (clinic) teams are working very hard to reschedule any care that’s been delayed or postponed.”
