The NDP plan will give current and future health care workers in Ontario pay raises, workplace respect, and incentives equal to or better than what other provinces are offering
Ontario's official opposition New Democrats have put forward a plan designed to deal with the crisis of the shortage of health care workers in the province.
“Our health care system is already on its knees, and our remaining health care workers are run off their feet, they’re feeling disrespected, and more are leaving every week,” said NDP interim leader Peter Tabuns. Hoy told the news conference that anyone in government who denies there is a health human resources crisis is insulting all front-line nurses and health care professionals.
The NDP news release said Ontario has the lowest nurse-per-capita ratio in Canada at 665 registered nurses for every 100,000 people. Ontario also has the lowest number of hospital beds per capita throughout all OECD countries.
