PHOTO: RON SUTCH.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>By working together, there may be a chance to stop it or to reduce the cuts to services that are expected to impact Ross Memorial, and to peacefully show support for keeping Ross funded, serviced and staffed without contemplating a merger.<\/p>\n<p>The Ross and the PRHC announced their \u201cintegration discussions\u201d by releasing a shared vision, a community engagement and communications plan and an overall integration work plan in April after being mandated by the regional funding body \u2014 the Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) \u2014 to \u2018explore integration\u2019 on March 28. But make no mistake \u2014\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lindsayadvocate.ca\/planned-hospital-merger-could-be-big-risk-for-ross-memorial\/\">this is more than an exploration<\/a>\u00a0or the discussion of an idea: One of the strategic goals of the community engagement plan is to \u201cbuild commitment to the new organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The very same document that plans for \u2018town halls\u2019 and surveys to get \u2018stakeholder feedback\u2019 also has the date for full integration: January 1, 2019. They are telling us, in advance of whatever \u201cconcerns\u201d we might raise as a community, that this merger is a done deal.<\/p>\n<p>At the rally in Toronto, Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition, told the crowd that Premier Doug Ford had been invited to the rally to disavow plans for cuts and privatization in several areas across the province, including the Kawartha Region.<\/p>\n<p>Ford declined to attend and did not send the health minister and or anyone else in his stead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the short time since the provincial election, Doug Ford has cut OHIP+ and mental health funding,\u201d Mehra told the rally. \u201cAnd has released a major report calling for means testing, user fees and privatization of health care and other services. This is intolerable. Ontarians are demanding that Mr. Ford live up to his promises and expand and restore services, not privatize them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Doug Ford alone was the only political leader to not address the rally.<\/p>\n<p>John Fraser, interim Liberal leader and Mike Schreiner, leader of the Green Party, pushed for more investment in the public health care system, not cuts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFamilies want to know that when a loved one needs to visit the hospital, they won\u2019t be stuck in a hallway. They need to know that a long-term-care bed will be there for an aging parent,\u201d said Andrea Horwath, NDP leader of the Official Opposition.<\/p>\n<p>Patients and advocates called for improvements to health care and seniors care, hospital overcrowding and homecare, including reopening closed hospital beds, a long-term care minimum care standard of four hours per resident per day, and also that all new capacity in hospitals, long term care and community care to be built as pubic, non-profit services and not privatized.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Hurley, president, OCHU\/CUPE said, \u201cThe Ford government cut $377 million in funding from mental health and addictions. Its $90 million in hospital surge funding replaces $187 million \u2014 so it is cutting $97 million. This government\u2019s fiscal plans collide sharply with healthcare funding and we expect the closure of 3,000 hospital beds by the time the dust settles unless we push back hard. That is what we are firmly committed to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPremier Ford has to address the undeniable crisis in health care \u2014 patients are feeling it and health care workers are feeling it every day,\u201d said Jerry Dias, Unifor national president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPre-election, Doug Ford promised to end hallway medicine, but instead he\u2019s hired former B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell, who slashed health care in favour of privatization. Unifor is here to say hands off our health care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 with files from Trevor Hutchinson.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lindsayadvocate.ca\/rally-for-the-ross-monday-to-stop-merger-toronto-rally-attracts-thousands\/\">http:\/\/lindsayadvocate.ca\/rally-for-the-ross-monday-to-stop-merger-toronto-rally-attracts-thousands\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rally for the Ross Monday to stop merger;
