(March 5, 2013)<\/p>\n

The Ontario Health Coalition responded today to the Health Minister\u2019s attempt to downplay and minimize the cuts to \u2013 and privatization of \u2013 hospital services that she and her government are making. The Minister was responding to the Coalition\u2019s report \u201cAusterity Index\u201d listing hospital cuts and privatization across Ontario. The coalition also held a cross?province \u201cS.O.S\u201d Save Our Services Day of Action yesterday featuring huge crowds encircling local hospitals, holding candlelight vigils, rallies and other demonstrations from Windsor to Ottawa to Sudbury.<\/p>\n

The coalition notes that not only is the Health Minister covering up the cuts and privatization, she has also fomented these cuts without any proper health planning process and without any democratic process. There has been no legislation introduced to empower the government to dismantle hospital clinical services, no public consultation, no electoral mandate, and no democratic process whatsoever.<\/p>\n
