Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner has raised alarm over the Ford government’s failure to meet long-term care direct care targets, primarily due to severe staffing shortages in the healthcare sector. As nurses continue to leave for better pay and conditions, long-term care homes are left struggling to provide adequate care, often resorting to expensive private staffing solutions. Schreiner criticizes the government’s neglect and calls for a shift away from for-profit healthcare to ensure fair treatment and support for public healthcare workers.
