The head of the Ontario Hospital Association says hospitals should not lose nurses and doctors to a new system of private clinics.
Anthony Dale says the new model of care will take a ton of work and presents many risks along the way.
The province announced earlier this week it would create new surgical centres, including for knee and hip replacement procedures in private facilities, as part of its strategy to reduce the surgical backlog.He also says it will be important for the clinics to have strong connections to a hospital for help if something goes wrong during hip and knee surgeries.
The province says there will be safeguards in place to prevent hospital staff being poached by the new surgical centres.
