Home care 'failed' Ottawa man whose death is now under investigation John LaCombe's death was "a complete breakdown of care and accountability under the supervision of the Minister of Health," says one MPP.

ONTARIO'S BROKEN HOME CARE SYSTEM: John LaCombe died in his apartment while waiting for home care. His sister was told he had likely been dead for a week. He couldn't answer the phone because of his condition, so his file was closed. ottawacitizen.com/news/local-n... #onpoli #onhealth

Safe Care Ontario Advocating for universal masking protections in healthcare and other mitigation tools. Airborne pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the COVID-19 disease, pose a risk to EVERYONE's health ...

COVID outbreak risk remains in #ONhealth hospitals without layers of protection.

Universal masking in ALL areas of #Ontario hospitals is essential for safe healthcare access.

Let regional decision-makers know this is a priority.

Not incompetence; it's deliberate.
They want us to have to pay extra for #Healthcare, and screw those who can't.
I wonder if Nurse-practitioners will lose clients.

Not keeping up with inflation as the population ages is a quieter way to cut healthcare. These are passive cuts to healthcare, more invisible than Harris and Eves' closing of thousands of hospital beds. Good on the OHA, the ONA, and unions for trying to help the public understand.

We know Jeff Leger and SDM have lied before (Nota bene: bsky.app/profile/chri...), and I think the Minister's briefing notes probably are the more accurate version. But remember, Ford is trying to ensure that ministerial briefing notes cannot be FOIed anymore.

“Close them right now — this afternoon,” said NDP health critic France Gélinas, following the deaths of two people who gave blood plasma at for-profit clinics accused of using exploitative incentives to encourage unsafe donations www.torontotoday.ca/local/health... #onpoli #ONhealth
