Code Blue: Hallway health care in Ontario getting worse
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Internal government data shows that in January, nearly 2,000 patients per day were kept in ‘unconventional spaces’ like hallways and break rooms in Ontario hospitals — the highest number ever recorded. Through a Freedom of Information Request, reporter Aidan Chamandy of The Trillium was able to piece together the current state of hallway health care across the province — a problem that Doug Ford promised to fix, if elected. Chamandy joins Frisco and Scott to break down the data and talk about the reaction to his scoop. Also on the podcast: We’re getting closer and closer to our launches of SPACES and TorontoToday!
