Two damning reports released this week paint bleak pictures of the crisis in Ontario\u0027s health system both as it operates now and as it will continue to be under current provincial government spending plans.
A spokesperson for Health Minister Sylvia Jones said the report echoes what the government has been saying: “The status quo in health care is no longer acceptable.” Spokesperson Hannah Jensen pointed to the plan for more private surgeries and moves to expand the scope of practice of pharmacists, among other things. She also noted that the provincial government has added more hospital beds in four years “than the Liberals did in 14.
Because the province has not “taken sufficient measures to supply the nurses and PSWs needed to deliver on its expansion commitments, challenges are expected to persist across Ontario’s health-care system.” “With every pillar of health care visibly crumbling, the number one limiting factor is this government,” Shamji said.Article content
