Ontario expanding private delivery of public health-care services in 3-step plan

BY The Canadian Press, Jan 16, 2023 11:44 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Ontario is expanding the private delivery of public health care, by funding clinics to perform more cataract surgeries as well as MRI and CT scans.

Announcing a three-step plan today, Premier Doug Ford says he laments debates over who should deliver health care and cares only about getting it delivered quickly and safely.

Ford and Health Minister Sylvia Jones say the procedures will still be covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan.

But critics are concerned about what the plan will do to hospital staffing and say patients are sometimes pushed to pay for out-of-pocket add-ons at private clinics.
