(May 27, 2024)

At the giant protests on May 30 and throughout our spring-summer 2024 outreach campaign, we are calling for the Ford government to:

Expand and fund community health centres to meet their populations’ needs
Stop private nurse practitioner-, surgical- and diagnostic- clinics from unlawfully and illegally charging patients for primary care, surgeries and diagnostics
Restore public hospital funding and bed capacity to match the average of the other provinces
Stop the closures of small and rural hospitals
Build the new long-term care beds as public and not-for-profit, instate mandatory minimum care standards and reinstate inspections and enforcement
Create supportive housing options
Build a public, non-profit home care system
Increase staff supply to meet the population’s needs, attract back the staff who have left and increase enrolment in public colleges and universities
Create national public Pharmacare (coverage for medications)
Improve equity and provide OHIP for all
