The public is starting to get a clearer sense of what Doug Ford’s health-care plan looks like. It is a curious combination of centralization and a perhaps optimistic hope that people delivering health care in local communities will find new, better ways to do it.
Reducing the number of public-health units might well produce some efficiency savings, but this is downloading with a veneer of rationality. The province will now pay public-health costs based on a municipality’s population. Small places will get greater support. It’s a fair approach, unless one compares it to what was done before.
There is certainly lots of scope for it. For example, optometrists have four or five years of post-graduate specialty training in eye care, but they can’t prescribe something as common as eye drops for glaucoma because they aren’t medical doctors. Similarly, pharmacists, paramedics and nurses all have the training to do more than they have done in the past.
he has good advisors from the medical field.. seasoned professionals. i trust that he has it right.
If he does have it right, it would be a first. BUT I DOUBT IT!
No he doesn’t!
