Ontario Overhauls Health-Care System With New 'Super Agency'

Canadian PressOntario Premier Doug Ford watches as Health Minister Christine Elliott speaks at an event at The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto on Jan. 30, 2019.

TORONTO — Ontario is merging 20 health agencies into one super agency and will establish local health teams to co-ordinate care as part of a system overhaul. Health Minister Christine Elliott announced the health-care transformation this morning and the government intends to introduce legislation later today.

Elliott says too much time is spent maintaining a fragmented system and far too many people believe it is the patient or family's job to navigate the complicated landscape."The value of our health-care system is locked in silos. This is no way to deliver health care in our province."
