Sudbury MPP Jamie West says Premier Doug Ford’s government is using the staffing shortages to push privatization rather than investing in public health care
Sudbury is in the throes of a health care crisis driven by staffing shortages — and Doug Ford is threatening to make it worse with privatization, rather than investing in our public system.
For years, there has been a chronic shortage of doctors, nurses, PSWs and other health practitioners in northern Ontario. At the same time, Sudbury is seeing an increase in opioid-related deaths and overdoses, as well as in the number of children and teens struggling with their mental health. Instead of reducing wait times, Doug Ford’s scheme will only benefit his wealthy and well-connected friends - while everyday people continue to wait longer for care.
We need to show frontline workers the respect they have earned and deserve, and we can do that today by repealing Bill 124.
