JOUR DE L'OPPOSITION |
Mrs McLeod - Whereas the Common Sense Revolution states that a Conservative government "will not cut health care"; and
Whereas, during the 1995 election campaign, the Conservatives clearly promised to defend the health care system by protecting ministry funding, stating in a campaign backgrounder, "there will be no cuts to health care funding by a Harris government", and calling this their first, and most important commitment; and
Whereas the Premier repeated this promise throughout the campaign; and
Whereas the Public Accounts for 1994/95 show the Ministry of Health budget at $17.8 billion; and
Whereas the Conservative government has said that it is committed to funding health care only to the level of $17.4 billion; and
Whereas this represents a cut to the health care budget of more than $400 million; and
Whereas the Conservative government has already cut $132 million from the budget of the Ministry of Health when, on July 21, 1995, the Finance Minister announced a series of spending cuts designed to reduce the deficit; and
Whereas the Common Sense Revolution clearly states "every dollar we save by cutting overhead or by bringing in the best new management techniques and thinking will be reinvested in health care to improve services to patients"; and
Whereas the $132 million in funding has gone directly to reduce the deficit and therefore cannot be reallocated within the health care system; and
Whereas this government is considering introducing user fees to the Ontario Drug Benefit Program; and
Whereas there have been suggestions that hospitals will face a reduction in funding from this government when it cuts its support to all transfer partners next year; and
Whereas, according to media reports on the Premiers' Conference in St. John's, the Premier of Ontario "wouldn't rule out user fees"; and
Whereas the Premier has stated that "a signal has gone out to the (health) ministry that there are no sacred cows", suggesting that further cuts may be planned to health care funding; and
Whereas the recent actions taken by this government contradict election promises and have confused a concerned public still coping with the negative impact of the previous NDP government's mismanagement of the Ministry of Health; and
Whereas the NDP government was the first government in the history of the province of Ontario to reduce the budget of the Ministry of Health in real dollars; and
Whereas the NDP government inflicted chaos upon the health care system with the introduction of the Social Contract, which resulted in a deterioration in the quality of care provided in Ontario; and
Whereas the NDP government attempted to introduce user fees to the Ontario Drug Benefit Program and then removed more than 230 drugs from the Ontario Drug Benefit Program without first consulting with those affected by this change; and
Whereas the NDP government reneged on its funding promises for hospitals in the province of Ontario and reduced the budgets of provincial psychiatric hospitals; and
Whereas, faced with the detrimental effects of the NDP government's assault on the health care system and the threats being made by this Conservative government to continue the attack through cuts in funding and the introduction of user fees, the province requires real leadership for the protection of the health care system and a commitment to maintain stable funding for the health ministry at $17.8 billion;
Therefore, this House calls on the Minister of Health to restore the $132 million that was cut on July 21, 1995, in order to maintain the promise made by this government to protect health care funding and not cut health care; to reaffirm this government's commitment to no new user fees; and to ensure that the health care budget will stand at $17.8 billion dollars for every day of the life of this government. Minister of Health. To be debated October 11, 1995.
