NDP health care critic said is not taking health concerns seriously and that residents are worried about emergency room closings and the move toward private health care<\/div>\n
\n

Ontario official opposition<\/span>\u00a0health critic France G\u00e9linas is pushing the Ontario government to take more action to keep emergency rooms open and to move away from any actions that promote private health care.<\/p>\n

<\/span>G\u00e9linas was speaking<\/span>\u00a0out in the Ontario Legislature Wednesday when she asked a question about the thousands of Ontario residents opposed to the idea of private health care, as was demonstrated by the referendum held by the Ontario Health Coalition in late May..<\/p>\n

G\u00e9linas said more<\/span>\u00a0and more Ontario residents are visiting Queen’s Park to voice their worries about health care.<\/p>\n

<\/span>“Today Brock University<\/span>\u00a0students are here to show their dissatisfaction with this government’s privatization agenda. People representing Minden, Mount Forest, Palmerston, Listowel, Wingham, Seaforth, Clinton, Grey Bruce, Chesley, Thessalon are here, asking the Premier to reopen their ER (emergency room) or keep their ER open,” said G\u00e9linas.<\/p>\n

<\/span>“We live in<\/span>\u00a0a democracy, Speaker. All those people are coming to Queen\u2019s Park because they are scared. They\u2019re anxious. They\u2019re worried. They want to be heard. Why won\u2019t the Premier listen to them?” G\u00e9linas asked.<\/p>\n

Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones responded to G\u00e9linas by saying that recent hearings held for\u00a0Bill 60 (Your Health Act, 2023)\u00a0indicated that many Ontarians were in fact pleased with the changes.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\u201cI\u2019m going to<\/span>\u00a0highlight a couple of things that came out of those committee hearings: ‘I\u2019m here to say that Bill 60 is a good start in eliminating Ontario\u2019s surgical backlogs. We are pleased to see this government introduce significant changes to our system that will better serve Ontarians within a publicly funded system. Overall, this bill sets up a good framework to create a system of surgical care that is patient-centred and promotes patient choice.’ That comes from the president and CEO of CE Health,” said Jones.<\/p>\n
