🧵I think every Ontarian should be aware of what the Auditor General of Ontario published in the 'Value for Money Audit/ Outpatient Surgeries' in 2021.
Before we allow Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones outsource any more surgeries to the private for-profit sector, we need answers.
Before we allow Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones outsource any more surgeries to the private for-profit sector, we need answers.
"Our audit concluded that the Ministry, in conjunction with Ontario Health, does not have fully effective oversight procedures and systems in place to monitor and confirm the quality of specifically outpatient surgeries."
"Several of our findings, such as the underuse of hospital operating rooms, and the lack of Ministry oversight of billings, have been noted in our past value-for-money audits, including ...
....Large Community Hospital Operations (2016), Physician Billing (2016), Cancer Treatment Services (2017), and Virtual Care: Use of Communication Technologies for Patient Care (2020).
"There also continues to be a lack of adequate oversight and monitoring of unreasonable outpatient surgery volumes and billings to verify that physicians and surgeons are providing quality care in accordance with billing policies. "
Every journalist attending every presser with Ford and Jones needs to cite this Audit and ask what's been done to address the audits findings before one step is made to allow more outpatient surgeries and diagnostic services in Ontario. #Ontario
