WOODSTOCK - The Ontario Health Coalition is making a stop in Woodstock as part of their Province wide public hospital hearings.
They are travelling the Province to collect stories from people who have suffered from the prolonged cutbacks to our local hospitals. Executive Director Natalie Mehra says they want to start a democratic debate.
"So we want to collect the stories, the good and the bad and we want to put them together into a call for sufficient funding to actually meet our population need for care in our hospitals."
Mehra says they want to hear it all.
The goal is to come up with a platform of "progressive reform" that the Health Coalition will use leading into the provincial election planned for next spring to address the urgent issues of undercapacity, cuts, privatization and overcrowding. Ontario has had the worst hospital cuts in the country: we have the lowest hospital funding levels, the fewest hospital beds per population, the least nursing care per patient, and we have seen massive cuts to clinics and outpatient services as well."
The hearing in Woodstock will run from 1-3 pm on Saturday October 21st at the Southside Aquatics Centre.
