NDP Health and Long-Term Care Critic and Nickel Belt MPP France Gélinas says today’s revelation of a secret $236-million eHealth deal is just more of the same from an agency that has already presided over a $1-billion boondoggle and a McGuinty government that seems to have learned nothing in the wake of a scathing Auditor General’s report.

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says a provincially-appointed supervisor is ramming through $5-million worth of budget cuts at Cambridge Memorial Hospital at precisely the wrong time.

“With Ontario hospitals bursting at the seams due to the H1N1 outbreak, is now really the time to cut staff at Cambridge Memorial Hospital?” she asked during today’s Question Period.

Queen's Park – The McGuinty government must announce steps to ensure no one can buy their way to the front of the line at private clinics offering the H1N1 vaccine, NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said today.

Premier Dalton McGuinty must immediately announce plans to strengthen public communication to ensure organization and order at H1N1 vaccination clinics, Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said today.

The McGuinty government needs to take immediate action to ensure Ontario families aren’t left waiting for hours – sometimes days – for access to the H1N1 vaccine, Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said today.

The five Liberal MPPs including David Ramsay should apologize to their constituents for voting against proposals that would have strengthened the accountability and transparency of healthcare dollars, said NDP Health Critic France Gélinas.
