The Hastings County Finance, Property and Personnel Committee approved a recommendation to county council that they support a joint resolution from the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) that focuses on the physician shortage across Ontario.
The resolution from AMO and OMA lays out the various challenges of attracting and retaining a healthcare workforce in the province and calls on the province to “fund health care appropriately and ensure every Ontarian has access to physician care.”
Hastings County Council will look at the recommendation for the resolution at a future date.
