Description
Guest: Robert Benzie, Queen's Park Bureau chief for The Star Bill 7, also known as the “More Beds, Better Care” act is now law, and gives the government and medical authorities more power to potentially move patients from hospitals to long term care facilities that may not prefer to go too. The government says it is a necessary move as Flu season and an expected Fall COVID surge. Critics fear that beyond trampling patients rights, it’s just the beginning of more privatization of the province’s health care system. This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar. Audio Sources in this episode: CPAC and CHCH News.
