Ontario health advocates warn of 'manipulative upselling' at private clinics under the province's new legislation.
These new community surgical and diagnostic centres will need to prove in their application they have consulted with other health partners and will be integrated into the current health system. “Expert organizations” will work with Ontario Health and the Ministry of Health to ensure quality and safety standards are met, the government said. This includes inspections of clinics and a complaint system that will allow patients to report if they were overcharged or not provided the correct care.
In response to a question in the legislature Monday, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Health Robin Martin suggested the Your Health Act is “remedying a problem that has existed in public hospitals as well as clinics.
“Privatization has ballooned under the Ford government and this is the last stage in an ongoing move to privatize piece-by-piece-by-piece our public health system,” she said.
