In 2018, Doug Ford promised to end overcrowding in hospitals so that patients aren’t relegated to hallways and other unconventional areas. Each party leader during this election has pledged considerable health care spending. Including more primary care doctors, and additional beds. But there may not be a one-size-fits-all solution. So, how does a new government tackle this complex issue that’s been decades in the making? For insight, we welcome: Dr. Samir Sinha, director of health policy research at the National Institute on Ageing; Joanna Frketich, health reporter for the Hamilton Spectator; Rosalie Wynoch, associate director of research at the C.D. Howe Institute; Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition; and Paul Woods, CEO of Southlake Health.
