MAJORITY OF ONTARIANS WANT PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT TO PRIORITIZE SPENDING ON PUBLIC HOSPITALS THAN PRIVATE CLINICS: NEW POLL
OCHU-CUPE media conference at 10:00 am on Monday to release full findings of new Nanos poll on privatization
Just over 10 days after the recent Ontario budget allocated $280 million for expansion of surgeries and diagnostic tests in private clinics while restraining hospital funding, a new poll shows that 73 per cent of Ontarians want the government to prioritize investments in public health care.
The Nanos poll conducted in May surveyed over a thousand Ontarians about privatization of hospital services and their perception about staffing in public hospitals.
The poll was commissioned by CUPE's Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU-CUPE), which will be releasing a supplementary report on privatization at a media conference at Queen's Park on Monday morning.
