Ontario health minister refuses to acknowledge whether hospital shutdowns are acceptable

Ontario’s health minister broke weeks of silence on Tuesday afternoon to address growing hospital emergency room and intensive care unit closures. However, she would not acknowledge whether the series of shutdowns is acceptable.

“However, I want to reassure people that Ontario Health is a major part of the plan to work with those local hospitals to make sure that they have the capacity and all the options have been put on the table.”on June 24, up until this point she has not addressed the staffing crisis that has led to dozens of hospital closures.

While Jones called the closure of emergency departments “very disturbing,” she said the province has “done a lot ” to address the issue. As proof, she pointed to the province’s ongoing work with partnering health organizations. "Either [they] had to reduce capacity in their emergency departments, O-Rs, beds, labour and delivery patients that had to be re-directed to other hospitals. It is absolutely outrageous," Ontario Nurses’ Association President Cathryn Hoy said on Tuesday.

There is an attempt to minimize the health care crisis. But it is not just hospitals, emergency room staffing that is the problem. When basic health service like family doctors and specialist referrals are inadquate then health deteriorates, costing the individual and society.

They don't have a solution. Just pass the buck to the Feds.

Y’all voted for this. And by not voting you’re lumped inro that too.

The who?… there are no ontario liberals… thank god

Isn’t this what everyone wanted? Isn’t this what the ER dr.s said would happen if we eliminated all Covid mitigation? This is exactly what Ontarians demanded, got and now complain the results are exactly as predicted? Maybe invoke the dolt truckers to demand some lockdowns. LOL.

Where’s Trudeau

Fake news. Ontario Liberals don’t exist. 🤣🤣🤣

Good ! The people of Ontario should be demanding the Ford government to get to work after ignoring critical situations in ON. The largest prov. of Canada ! fordsmess

Wait for an election and Doug will be performing surgeries in between shoveling your driveways.

What kind of credentials does our minister of health (deputy premier) have to direct such a critical arm of our hospital system. I understand she has a diploma in radio broadcasting from Fanshawe

Because it is…. Part of the plan!

“Jones called the closure of emergency departments “very disturbing,” So this is the headline CTV comes up with because she didn’t word it as acceptable or not?! Let’s not forget the mess 15 years of Liberal provincial government left to the Ford government. (Hallway healthcare)
