Ms. Elliott announced in February that her government would fold the work of six health-care agencies and 14 LHINs into a new super agency called Ontario Health. The six agencies are: Cancer Care Ontario, eHealth Ontario, Health Shared Services, Health Quality Ontario, HealthForce Ontario, which recruits doctors and other medical workers, and Trillium Gift of Life, which co-ordinates organ donations.
The LHINs are regional health planning authorities that also co-ordinate home care and manage the waiting lists for long-term care homes. Along with establishing the super agency, the Ford government is planning to put teams of hospitals, primary-care organizations, home-care agencies and other health-care providers in charge of co-ordinating front-line services. The government has received applications from more than 150 groups interested in the new “Ontario Health Team” program.
Although Ms. Elliott at first refused to say whether there would be jobs lost or money saved as a result of the restructuring, her government has since said it intends the reforms to save $250-million this fiscal year and $350-million a year going forward.Story continues below advertisement“Over time, Ontario has continued to add new health-care agencies without a plan to integrate or co-ordinate them,” Ms. Elliott said in the statement.

With the savings will they actually be able to effectively recruit and retain more doctors for small towns Oh yea that's right no actual plan to make anything better, just cut everything until the budget is balanced.... In 3 years...
“You have my word not one single person will lose their job under a Ford Government” ToddSmithPC are you kidding me Another campaign promise not kept
And these latest cuts are to the healthcare sector! Really? Expect more of the same from Scheer.
Never trust a Conservative government. Voting in a Conservative government does nothing for ordinary people, only the wealthy benefit.
Don't blame Ford. Blame wynne!!
...so much for a Doug Ford promise!!
Lying crooks👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
The cause There is NO MORE MONEY bc of the Wynnes Liberal Governments OVERSPENDING That’s all
The Cons cometh!
And it just keeps on getting better and better!
How did another Ford brother get elected after the last one did what he did.?
Shame I will never vote again for PC 😡
Not Ontario people - just Ontario Tory people.
l_stone Excellent news ! Those union sloths did nothing but play solitary, so it’s time clean house UnionsAreParasites
None of whom are actually providing health care
Ford needs to open up Medical assisted in dying to patients refusing to be warehoused in LTC. Patients with healthy organs are taking healthy organs to graves.They should be allowed to donate organs to transplant patients in need.These recipients could become their legacies.
I think Ms Elliott and Ford are the ones that need to accept early retirement.
So whats your point what have they done to find efficiencies and deliver cost effective health care
Mr Ford. Where are the people you say you are for; They don’t live in Ontario do they? We need our health care and education to remain in tact.
WTF
Good. The LIHNs were a Liberal bureaucratic mess that did nothing for health care and just sucked money away from front line workers. Exactly why Ford was voted in. Great to hear this.
Good job Doug Ford. Prioritizing care instead of bloated administrative jobs is a good direction to improve our healthcare. Next we should eliminate overtime hours
Achiev8ng the impossible. Making every prev govt look good.
Not a single job on his watch.
The more people that are taken off the government tit the better for canadian taxpayers and their children
l_stone fordnation intentionally trying to kill people
oh FOR THE PEOPLE Ford strikes again ! not going to loose one job what a very nasty crock folks - he is getting richer on your backs and so are his 1% rich pals business and otherwise boo him out of Ontario
PC voters... remember this when you start complaining about wait times...
Will province guarantee more and faster access to various Cancer Care, long term homes and home care as a result of these changes? Or is it all about $$ and quantity and access will be diminished?
The ideological idiots will always whine and complain no matter what is done but the Ford government doesn't do itself any favours when it rushes policies without thinking them all the way through amd when they don't communicate the changes properly
Irresponsible governing.
Happens every in the private sector..why is government intouchable?
One term wonder.
Not a single public sector job lost. Bet Ford wishes he’d phrased that differently...
The Fraud government is nothing but “Neanderthals Inc.....”!
And why not. Surely all these health care specialists cost a lot of money! Next, reopen 2000 Blockbuster Video stores!
Thank you Kathleen Wynne. fordnation For the taxpayers!
Didn't FordNation say not a single person was going to lose their job? I think Ford and OntarioPCParty should lose their jobs. JobFails Onpoli
Why? Is he so desperate for cash he has to punish the sick and have extra for himself?
Health Care For The people! Served by the aledged former drug dealer!
tag line better if it read - 'Ford (& puppets) breaks campaign promise that not a single government job will be lost - and then lays off more than 400 people from ON healthcare agencies'. 400 people. but more time & easy access to beer! ONpoli whoarethesepeopleheisfor ?
Gutting health care one day at a time. fordnation is a disgrace
There are families now that are remortgaging their house to pay for their children’s autism therapy because of his cuts. I can’t understand how wasting money on suing the feds for the carbon tax &spending millions or a billion to get beer in a corner store ASAP is more important.
Removing “dead wood”... Only government workers believe in jobs that have no merit should be continued forever. Welcome to the real world where what you do is actually accountable.
Tories like to break the government, then scream that it doesn’t work.
time for this lady to quit
n OSAP funding estimates just came in n it seems many of our kids wont be attending post secondary institutes due to fordnation mismanaging. How is this better for society as a whole when education is only for rich? onpoli
These are padded positions. .. good for Ford
This horrible man and his government are going to cost lives and his followers could care less!
This guy is a complete menace to society
“Back office jobs”. Awesome! Trim the fat!
For the people!
