Ontario is preparing for the next step in its expansion of private clinics that can offer publicly funded tests and procedures.
The province plans to expand the number of facilities offering services like cataract surgeries and MRIs, as well as adding hip and knee replacement surgeries.
Health Minister Sylvia Jones says starting this spring, the province will seek applications for clinics to provide more services, including more MRIs, CT scans, GI endoscopies, and orthopedic surgeries.
Advocates however, worry the plan is a stepping-stone to privatization.
