.@fordnation,@SylviaJonesMPP Infuriated that gov't digs heels in over an outdated drug list! Prescribing restrictions force midwives to send clients to MDs for concerns otherwise entirely within midwifery scope. #ONpoli
Midwives across Ontario are infuriated over Ministry of Health announcement that outdated restrictions regarding prescribing powers will not be updated. Ontarians have until November 13 to provide feedback and midwives are asking the public to speak out: https://t.co/7gxqeNFKFC
Together with @AllianceON@afhto @NPLCA1 @OntarioCollege@iphcc_ca@NPAOntario, we call on ON gov't to develop a strategy for health covereage for uninsured people. The costs of discontinuing coverage are too high - for Ontario, for our health system, for people’s health & lives.
HAPPENING TODAY @ NOON! Emergency Rally at Queen's Park, Toronto. #healthcareforall
Join us in telling the ON gov't to keep the vital, life-saving program providing health care to uninsured people! Bring an umbrella, because everyone deserves coverage! ☂️ https://t.co/HrJb1Pzmev
Midwives call on @fordnation to take action to ensure Ontarians have access to the medication and tests they need from their midwives. #onpoli https://t.co/AfeNkNgRoR
"'We saw a lot of people coming back to hospital who could've probably been served in their own community.'
'Allowing patients to contact the midwife by pager... is a form of proactive medicine... which is something our system should have a lot more of.'" https://t.co/kA6UCLM6LP
Midwives call on Health Minister Sylvia Jones to take action to ensure Ontarians have access to the medication and tests they need from their midwives. https://t.co/xwGd67yZz2
"Undervaluing our work undermines the sustainability of midwifery. @fordnation stop wasting more tax dollars fighting midwives in court & ensure midwives are paid fairly." @BounmyInthavong
It's been almost a decade. Pay equity is long #Overdue. #NoMoreAppeals#MidwivesKeepWinning
"Government has denied midwives arbitration, leaving us no option but to fight for our rights in courts." Kim Cloutier Holts
Midwives launched a human rights claim in 2013 & won. 2 appeals later & #MidwivesKeepWinning. @fordnation how many losses will it take? #NoMoreAppeals
"Les sages femmes demandent l’arbitrage et finalement une investissement pour abolir le sexisme. @fordnation, arrêtez d’utiliser les impôts des Ontariens pour se battre en cours." Kim Cloutier Holts
