With Premier Doug Ford preparing to shake up Ontario's health system and promising to tackle hospital overcrowding, home care providers see an opportunity. The umbrella group Home Care Ontario will launch a campaign Thursday called "End Hallway Healthcare." Rueben Devlin, a special adviser on health care to Premier Doug Ford, says insufficient capacity in home care is one of the reasons behind the hallway medicine problem. In its pre-budget submission presented last month, Home Care Ontario asked the government to inject an extra $600 million into home care. Home Care Ontario also asked the Wynne government last year to boost funding to the sector by $600 million.
