Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones says it is unacceptable that home care and palliative patients in the province are facing shortages of supplies they need, and she is working to have it rectified.
NDP Leader Marit Stiles asked Jones about the issue in question period today, saying doctors are reporting that patients are being sent to emergency rooms because their supplies have run out, patients in palliative care are unable to get sedatives and people facing life-threatening infections are without proper sanitary supplies.
Jones says she has been working with Ontario Health atHome on what she calls a logistics issue.
