[CUPE Ontario @CUPEOntario]

The conditions we work under are unacceptable—we must hold gov to acct to fund hospitals appropriately—@OCHU_Healthcare's Louis Rodrigues

[CUPE Ontario @CUPEOntario]

Overflowing hospitals?

Ontario has 2.2 hospital beds per 1,000 people, 1/2 the developed world average https://t.co/CxFRLwgklX #cdnhealth

[Doug Allan @Leftwords]

Hospital over capacity?

European bed occupancy 75%

Ontario not so good --> https://t.co/JR3QkKfUEK #cdnhealth

[Ontario Medical Association @OntariosDoctors]

Patient needs are increasing. The government's response is to ↑ their own power, ↑ # of bureaucrats, & ↑ forms for docs to fill out. #OnPoli

[OntarioHealthCoal'n @OntarioHealthC]

Ont gov't must take responsibility for ER overloads due to critical bed shortages province-wide: bkgrounder + rls https://t.co/Hbmm3WDWPI

[OntarioHealthCoal'n @OntarioHealthC]

It is unacceptable that patients are waiting for days on gurneys for hospital beds: Natalie Mehra, exec dir.

[OntarioHealthCoal'n @OntarioHealthC]

Patients are not to blame for hospital overloads. It's hospital bed cuts: Sara Labelle, Durham Health Coalition.

[BrockvilleHC @BrockvilleHC]

Patient safety, and reducing the risk of acquiring and transmitting infection should be the priority," (OCHU) president Michael Hurley.

[BrockvilleHC @BrockvilleHC]

These are preventable deaths. But government and hospital policies are making this growing threat even worse.

[BrockvilleHC @BrockvilleHC]

The Public Health Agency of Canada reports more than 200,000 patients acquire infection while receiving healthcare
