Ontario working to ensure proper staffing as private clinics to help with surgery backlog: Jones

Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones, asked how they’ll ensure staffing keeps up as private clinics become involved in publicly-funded surgeries, said they’re working to ensure more opportunities are available for people interested in becoming practitioners. She also said they’re working on a “short, medium and long-term” plan, to ensure people waiting to practice in Ontario get their qualifications assessed and licensed quickly.
