Ford’s Failures and Cuts Cause Chaos in Ontario’s Healthcare System

TORONTO, ON- Leader of Ontario's Liberals, Bonnie Crombie, released the following statement:

"For over six years, Doug Ford's cuts have wreaked havoc on our cherished public healthcare system, all to benefit his rich friends.

"Ontario's hospitals are in crisis - and no wonder, given Ford's cuts to hospital budgets. Communities are struggling to handle mental-health and addictions issues, while Ford cut $350 million from mental-health funding.

"People across Ontario - including in Whitby where they have had to fight this government for a new hospital - know this manufactured crisis is deliberately designed to further Doug Ford's privatization agenda - to help his rich insiders get richer.

"Ontario's Liberals will get our healthcare system back on track."
